palivs2hnt Report post Posted December 19, 2007 Well, it has been a while since I have posted. I’ve been on the site a couple of times to check all the success. My Nov Coues hunt was tough, had to settle for a spike towards the end of the hunt, 200 yard shot in the head to save meat (won’t post pictures of that bloody mess!). My Dec late bull hunt was a lot of fun, first time being drawn for bull and it was a cold, wet and a tough hunt. I took this 5 x 5 on day 5 at 308 yards after glassing him at the very base of the rim from well over a mile away. On the stalk to close the distance to this bull, we glassed up 2 smaller bulls on the ridge we had planned to shoot from, changing our plans and adding another 30 min or so of hiking. That pack out was brutal! He is not the biggest of bulls, but he had tremendous mass and for a first bull I am excited. I feel very blessed to hunt in such an awesome state! I am looking forward to my Javelina and Turkey tags! Enjoy the pictures! Justin You can see in the first picture a small red circle, that is where the bull was bedded.

GameHauler Report post Posted December 19, 2007 Congratulations on your Bull. It looks like it was no fun getting him ready for the packs on that snow covered steep hillside. Been there, Done that. Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DesertBull Report post Posted December 19, 2007 Congrats! That looks like it was an awesome hunt. A little snow can turn a tough late season elk hunt into a great one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
