ADDICT Report post Posted September 22, 2013 VIDEO LINK: https://vimeo.com/74880527 Here's my Gila bull. Very bitter-sweet. Im ecstatic to have experienced this hunt. The country is beautiful. The rains have caused a lot of problems over the last 6 days hunting-wise. In contrast, the grass is green and I stopped every morning to soak it all in. This bull came in screaming in the rain. We were buried in the cedars and I saw his back end and thought it was a 5th and a 6th of another big ol' 7x7 we were on. I made the decision to shoot at 50 yards when I saw his tops. He came crushing through the cedars clanking bone all the way in. Called and stopped him at 5 yards!!! Stare down ensued and luckily my buddy called and turned the bull. I found a gap at 20 yards and stroked him quartering away. The arrow blew through his last rib ad out his opposite shoulder! This is nowhere near the caliber of bull I set my sights on but I realize its so much more about the experience and animal. He was so covered in mud when I shot him I was terrified about the broad head being affected. The Grave Digger 100 gr chisel broke three ribs and still flew 70 yards past the bull!

Coues Sniper Report post Posted September 23, 2013 Happened to me once as well. Had the bull at 20 yards, could only see the top of one side, buddy said "oh my God, shoot that bull, and there was a SLOB we had cam pics of in the area, so I shot through a hole in the brush. Bull was a sweet palmated 7 point on one side, rag horn 5 on the other. Doubled he would have gone almost 380, as he was he went 317. That's how it goes man. Video was great as usual, but too short. So nice to see all that green. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
