I'll post one. It's a really good bull. (He does wear flat brim hats, shoots a 6.5 creedmore, wears kuiu, crispi boots and gets abused thoroughly from me for it) 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My buddy just killed a bull in unit 1 it took six shots to make them stay in place all in the Boiler Room. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you hit an animal in the foot with a creedmoor they will die instantly 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
idgaf Report post Posted December 4, 2019 It may have been a 7mm08 but I was on a roll. One shot at 300 yards went about twenty yards and then rolled two hundred.

She went 40 yards tops. Her lungs were shredded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoss50 Report post Posted December 4, 2019 Did he give it time to bleed out, or just keep shooting? Was he in close quarters with it? I have seen a cow elk take massive damage and keep moving but she was very close to the shooters and the adrenaline was pumping and keeping her on her feet. The other 4 cows I have been around when shot were at longer ranges (150-350yrds) and they didn't know where the shooter was, or what was going on. They all dropped from 1 or 2 shots and ran less then 40 yards each. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AzRaised08 Report post Posted December 4, 2019 Thank you all for your kind words and following along! It’s still hard to believe it all turned out the way it did. I took measurements on the bull and the unofficial score we calculated was 305 4/8! We did most of the butchering at home today and have some jerky marinating in the fridge. Can’t wait to make it tomorrow! (The picture is from last night before we cut up all the meat.) 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair my kids killed 3 cows with 139 grain sst and I'd did the trick just fine. But that was with a 7-08. To be fair hornady makes 147 grain eldms that I think would do just fine for a bull. He drilled it just to keep him from running and dealing with a potential loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
