shooterpar Report post Posted November 19, 2007 just thought that i would share with you all that my dad killed a nice bull on the 6a muzzleloader hunt this past weekend. not that exciting of a story, but here it is. i found this bull and a few others the weekend before the hunt and hoped they would do the samething opening morning. opening morning we left camp a little after 5 and started the hike and got to the glassing spot at 6 and waited til it got light enough to see. at 6:30 the bulls started working out of the flats and up the hill and i spotted them half way up at 6:55. we moved about 450 yards to get into position for a shot and everything else is history. 170 yard shot and 35 yard recovery. bullet hit a little far back but the bull was quartering away, found the bullet behind the off side should right under the skin. hunt was over at 7:30 opening morning. not the biggest bull on the hill but a definite trophy in our minds. i dont get to hunt with my dad as much as i'd like so this was really special. hope you enjoy. right after the shot, knowing it was a good one! and here he is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shooterpar Report post Posted November 20, 2007 thanks for all of the kind words. i actually forgot to tell you all a big part of the story, my dad was never drawn this year!!!!! the results came out and neither one of us were drawn, bummer right? about a week after the drawing he got a call from a nice girl at the G and F, she had a 6a muzzleloader bull tag and it was his if he wanted it!!! he sent her a check that day and the tag came in the mail a couple days later! he knew right then he was gonna kill a good one! what luck. elkhunter, sure do remember those NAU days. yea there are a few nice bulls in there, there was one on the same hill friday morning but was a little further way and gonna be harder to kill. dad was just as happy with this one!! i live down in prescott now, working for an engineering company. hunting and fishing as much as time and money allows. what about you? still in school up there?

elkhunter Report post Posted November 20, 2007 Yeah I'm a senior this year, will graduate in May, only took 4 years. I've been working with AZGFD and hope to end up working with them when I graduate. Once again congrats on the bull. That's some luck right there he got called up and asked if he wanted a tag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
