Sneaker Report post Posted March 20, 2015 Interesting request. No comment on that. Was thinking the bull would be hard to identify, but it does appear to have some distinguishing features: a left beam that goes up at the very back, and a right beam that goes down and a pretty sharp angle?

Flatlander Report post Posted March 20, 2015 That's an awesome bull 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shanehamblin Report post Posted March 20, 2015 Looks like a pretty good shot probably a little low. My thought might be if the shot was low an obviously missed heart that he is still alive. They survive those brisket shots. Nice bull tho 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DesertBull Report post Posted March 20, 2015 You would not necessarily have to buy at the auction if it is found and you call an officer out to look at it before it is moved. Good luck. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seldom Drawn Report post Posted March 20, 2015 Why do you think you would get bashed? I have given hunters gps locations of bulls that I have found that I know they have shot for no reward other then the good feeling the hunter found his bull it's there their trophy. there is no need to inform game and fish why would you? If I found your bull I would tell you where I found it for no charge anyone that would want you to pay them $750 is a deuce. but now the greed for the gold many wouldn't tell you shoot if they found it but for 750 they can't get that much for a 350 bull so they might contact you, I hope you find it. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We called him the "horseshoe bull" because he has a horse shoe shape between his fifth and main beam on his left side Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They survive those brisket shots. Nice bull tho You're probably right. After I shot him, he ran 100 yards, stopped and just stood there for 10 minutes then slowly walked away. The blood spot behind the shoulder was the exit hole and I shot him down hill so the entrance was a little higher. But it is amazing how tough these animals are and what they can endure. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azelkhunter69 Report post Posted March 20, 2015 Probably still running around. Been there, done that....unfortunately. Followed mine for 2 miles as the crow flies. Bled so bad I could have run down the blood trail for a mile or so. Last time I saw him, he dried up and was running. Never saw anything like it. Toughest animals I have ever run across. Never believed something could bleed that much and not die. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swivelhead Report post Posted March 20, 2015 Personally, I think it is very cool that you are still attempting to recover this bull. Very nice bull BTW. I'd be sick too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
