I am finally able to get on and post a picture of my 2015 Montana archery bull. After countless chances and sightings and frustrating ups and downs, I was finally able to connect on my second bull in two years with my bow.
I was headed back to the truck and rounded a corner into a wide open field and there he was feeding about 170 yards away with nothing between us but a 6 foot jack pine. I tried to sneak closer in the tall grass on my hands and knees but every step i took he looked up. I got be hind that tree and decided my only option was to try a cow call and see what happened (I figured the rut was over and he wouldn't care much about the call). To my surprise he looked up and came running right at me presenting me with a nice 60 yard shot. I drew my bow and leaned out from behind the tree, settled the pin and let it fly. I heard the arrow hit and he took off running. He stopped with his head down limping after about 150 yards and i watched him walk into the trees almost falling over. The blood trail was a red highway that led me right to him after the longest hour wait of my life!
I am so blessed to have gotten my second bull in two years. He isn't a giant but still a trophy in my mind.
