Congrats on finding your lost bull & welcome to the forum!

Man! I'm surfing the site on my phone and started checking out the video. That bull with the hook point is AWESOME! I can't get far in the video on my phone so I can't wait to check it out at home! Congratulations!!

I'm so sorry to hear this. Little guy was a fighter it seems. I can only imagine how you must feel after going through that with him in your arms. I'm very sorry.

Check the last pages of the "Family Strengths" thread. I remember seeing a newer member post something up.

Congratulations! Some wide open country.

Holy smokes! You definitely have a great archery hunting spot! Amazing how the bucks feel they need those nutrients when they're growing. The best part for you is, they know where to get them, and you can be there when they go! First the muleys and now the coues! I can't wait for the elk pics!

ROMOCASADOR, Best of luck in finding your girlfriends bull. I appreciate you guys really trying to find him as you know there aren't many bulls like that out there. I can only imagine how your girlfriend feels at the moment. I know you guys will continue your search. Thanks for reaching out to the online community in your quest for a needle in a haystack. Going online with your search is tough in itself as you know you are opening yourself up to ethics questions and comments. What some people have said on this thread is nothing new but I don't think they all meant it in a hostile way. They are simply stating the obvious. It's easy to read differently into their comments when you are so emotional after the roller coaster you guys are on. Keep looking for your bull and I so hope you find it. Let us know. I know that if anyone has read this thread, and finds a bull, you will hear about it. That's the best thing that can happen from you going public like you have.

Yup! Having three shots from spot & stalk in one day?! Wow!

That's a beauty! Congratulations. It's always nice to see them fall like they should.

You've got some great memories with a great friend right there. Here is to you continuing to find adventures and making the best of them. Congratulations on your success.

I hope you guys are still at it! (?) I just KNOW there has to be a trophy pic!

The crazy HOOK bull!

Man oh man! Great archery buck! It's great to have found him again with the wind in your face. You had a heck of a great time playing cat and mouse. Just you and him, that's what it's all about right there. Hunting at its finest. I would have dropped him too. Now you get to help your wife on her hunt!

Super bull and nice color on the photo. I bet they took some nice pictures of just the hunter and his bull, and I guarantee they are going up on his wall!

Can't beat that feeling. I wouldn't trade that for anything in the world.

Thanks for all you do Steve. If everyone had an ounce of the passion you have for big game habitat, we would all be in a better place.

Bruised ribs hurt like no other. I can't imagine cracking them! I'm praying for a full and quick recovery.

That's one heck of an area! If that big buck doesn't get killed, you should definitely go after him next year.

Congratulations Nate! You've been going solo and getting it done for a while now.

That's one to be really proud of. Congratulations.

...and to this I would add "consistency". Not only in bullet weights, but overall length, brass thickness, etc.

Hard to gauge the width and obviously the mass. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he breaks 190". He looks a lot like a buck we killed a couple years ago that went 195". Ground check him!

It's sure great when everything comes together. Congratulations to the both of you.

That's looks delicious. I love cooking pork tenderloin. That's a nice looking dinner.

That's s super sweet bull. Congratulations!
