Default Archery Bull

Finally made it happen with this prairie bull. Difficult hunt with archery equipment, but sure a lot of fun!

We called him into bow range, which was a miracle in itself. (Finding a knee high weed is big cover in these parts). I hit him a little lower than I wanted to but I caught up with him and watched him bed down. Continued watching him for a few hours and made the decision to sneak in for another shot. Was able to get within 50 yards and the second shot did him in.

More and more bow hunting fascinates me. I'm REALLY wanting to get into it more next year. Got a lot of respect for bow hunters. Congrats on a beautiful creature.
