First Bull!

[1_pointer]

Thanks for all the kudos! It wasn't quite how I scripted it in my head, but I'm tickled chitless nonetheless.

BOY is not an acronym, just what we call eachother. "Hey, BOY there's an elk over there." So, I just call him by that on the forums. He has registered here, but has only posted a few times.

Just some pics from the 'rodeo'... The bull was bedded on the top of the left hill. We snuck up through the timber and took the first shot from the top of the middle hill. Just to the right of the tallest tree.


Here's a bit of an 'interesting' pic. This was after a few shots. You can see the bull in the background (to the right of the end of my barrel). He was pretty sick at that point. Soon as he got out of sight, we bailed off the hill, topped the little ridge he went behind and finished the deed.


And yes, I'm growing pretty fond of Idaho....

Nicely done pointer, great looking bull you have there, well earned.

BTW, my buddy Tom hit me with a good one once when I pointed out my less than perfect shot placement on a big whitetail buck I shot...his response: "Tell that dead buck it was a bad shot!".

I've been known to put on a few "shooting clinics", and almost all of them with witnesses.

Isn't that the truth! The one shot drops no one's around to see it, but always someone around to witness BANG...BANG...BANG.....reload.....BANG.

Brymore- That's the plan. BOY helped out on two sheep hunts this year and I don't think that's curbed his desire to be out in sheep country.

Adequate for a 1st bull.
