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. Here is a picture of my nieces bull while he builds the dramatic irony on his instastory

He's doing one of those Instagram two day teaser things. Once he post a full picture. 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)

Side note-. My nephew killed his bull today

Just out curiosity why are you going up there? With all the snow the elk moved.

I'm finally unpacked. I hunted nearly every weekend from April till November this year. My wife let me know how much I spent and next year she's going to Europe for a couple of weeks instead of me hunting.

Congrats, always nice to see a new hunter have success

Congrats

I'm impressed you could see the antlers on that one. Congrats!!

probably my only tag for 2020. 37b ham

From the text he passed up six bulls and an elephant. No pics of the elephant

Yep

While we wait for the next update. Here are a few bulls that are getting a pass from my nephew. (Not hijacking the thread just stuck inside for the first time in months)

Good luck. I may be in the neighborhood, my nephew has that tag. He has been texting me pics of some pretty good bulls. Still debating if I want to battle the snow to help him.

Heads up if you are driving through show low. They are pulling over people in force

They were leaving the high country on Sunday. Still a few though. Food is covered in snow. Drifts we're about 14"

Tony The crazy thing is that's only about a third of the bulls I saw. Sometimes I was getting into position so I didn't get a pic Fred

Seven hours of searching yesterday. Still quite a few bulls up there. This only thing close to my elk that I found

14" around 8000' in unit 1. I went to pull some cameras this evening. Couldn't make it to a couple of them

16" of snow at that elevation. I'm not risking it

Will do thanks for the offer

Actually eagles and lions. Hahaha

The story ends as a Greek tragedy. We get there and the ground is covered with a layer of snow. We search until the beginning stages of hypothermia set in and then I call it. I can only figure that the arrow didn't penetrate enough to get the second lung. The arrow it looked couldn't be better placed if I did it with my hand. I'll look again tomorrow and again on Saturday The conditions we were searching in Oh it was the bull with big fronts on the far right

The final plot twist of this story took place today. Outcome TBD This morning I had this bull on a string to pass me @ 50 yards then that storm front started moving in and changed the wind patterns that had been constant since the beginning of the hunt. They left Bulltopia Had to check emails and return calls so I went to Springerville for lunch. saw this immature banded bald eagle eating roadkill I do what I have to do. And decide to go up to my original honey hole before I was distracted by Bulltopia. Three trail cameras and I got 1 picture of a Bull. even the horses are gone. Something is not right so I left. I decide to drive into bulltopia , I pass a white toyota on the side of the road and a few hundred yards later I spook 4 bulls with my driving. I feel bad I hate when that happens to me. I take a couple of pics and keep heading in. I decide about half way that I am not going to make it and know that the toyota is going to cross the field to go after those four little bulls. I figured, why not. I sneak in wind is good enough, Cover is adequate. I get to 65 yards and take aim at the closest bull. He spooks and a chinese fire drill is taking place. I climb a little ledge and A bull that wasnt part of the drill is standing broadside and a good distance but a shot I practiced quite a bit. I was determined. I pull back, settle in and squeeze. I hear the crack of the arrow hitting rib. It runs and stops after about 60 yards, I glass my fletching sticking out about 14 inches. half way up and two inches behind the shoulder. I hear a crash. I have nothing with me to see. I follow the trail until around 730 and call it. I will be back first thing in the morning. No matter what the hunting part of this done. Which bull did I shoot? (im asking im not quite positive)

it ran and treed again

Angry cats final moments
