regisranger Report post Posted September 27, 2018 Id post a pic if I could but unfortunately the grim reality of loosing a bull hit me for the first time. Shot a stud yesterday morning in 10. Tracked him for about 1/2 mile until blood stopped and he walked through an area filled with tracks. Spent 7 hours gridding, tracking, and glassing. Nothing. This was a first for me and i feel guilty about losing meat. Im pretty sure it was a lethal shot so I decided he was my bull and not to shoot another. I actually had 4 other opportunities at other bulls after the fact but passed. Overall it was a tough but awesome hunt with the rut starting slow but they were going nuts the last couple of days. Passed on a lot of pretty good bulls but was holding out for a 350. Can't complain when i'm out in gods land fo 10+ days! Ill try to post a video of a bull that was teasing me while i was packing up camp Got within 15 yrds of him. Congrats to all those successful and good luck on the last day of archery and other hunts starting soon! Bugling_Bull_Unit_10.mov Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bugling_Bull_Unit_10.mov Good to hear ethics played a roll in your decision to not continue hunting . Your tag your choice . Big hands up for you . Have seen a few animals running around with arrows sticking out of them . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
