Thumbs up Got a Pretty Decent Bull the Other Day

Well, I was beginning to think I wasn't going to find the kind of bull I was after this year, but a couple days ago it all ended up coming together. Its a great bull for the area he came from.

We have looked over what im sure is 30-40+ bulls over the last 3 months, and had alot of close encounters with the bow in hand, but never managed to seal the deal. Since bringing out the rifles, we had seen 3 other shooter bulls, but it never ended working out on any of them. Finally though, we walked into a good moose hole that has produced lots of sightings for us before, and this guy was in there with another smaller bull and cow. After looking him over, I was confident that I would be happy with him, and a few seconds later he was on the ground. I am super happy with this moose, and still hope to find one for my buddy before the season is over (and a couple whiteys ideally too). Cheers!
