My first bull down CO unit 2 Muzzleloader

[shoots-straight]

310 is my guess, but what do I know?

 

[belly-deep]

Way to go! Thats one heck of a bull for your first one.

 

[Baerman]

345 gross is my guess

 

[PJ0311]

I'm going to guess he grosses somewhere between bigger and way bigger than anything I've killed.

Great story, and nice bull.

What kind of bullet did you shoot?

I'd guess him at 320, but face on pictures are hard to judge. Great bull for sure, congrats!

I took him with the 250gr Thor bullet in a Thompson Omega with blackhorn 209 powder. The bullet didn't expand as I thought it would but it was a longer shot quartering away and it went through about 8'' of backstrap before it hit his spine. I think it tumbled in the muscle as the back of the bullet was flattened and stuck in the spine. There was a big exit but the bullet was still there.

Sweet Bull - Congrats !!

Great hunt. I would guess he would be gross in the 330's, but pictures often times don't do an animal justice.

 

[Mac7]

Nice. Congrats on the bull.

 

[montanadogs]

Holy crap, nice bull. I'd guess him around 330ish........ but then again I haven't been at this as long as others here on the site. Congrats

 

[POk3s]

Hard to judge but you said you didn't kill one in the 350 range is the only reason I previously said 335. He looks big in the pics but obviously you can't really judge by pics.

 

[MHMT]

Awesome Bull! If I had to guess to the inch I'd say 327

 

[Big Fin]

Congrats on a great bull.

 

[sweetnectar]

That's a dandy. I'd guess 332 for his score....but it is so hard to tell in photos. Is that call around your neck a sceery?....or what call is that?

 

[elk_hunter]

Great CO bull! Congrats!

 

[DREWBECK]

Ya it's a sceery cow call, I really liked it. Got some good reactions but then again those bulls aren't playing with a full deck that time of year.

MHMT closest guess so far, within an inch! His net will likely end up just below 320. He was about as "typical" as any elk I've ever seen. Only a couple inches deductions.

 

[Magicman]

Congratulations to you for scoring on such a wonderful bull. That's the real score.

 

[DREWBECK]

agreed, it is also cool that he will be my first animal in the book which is sweet

 

[grizzly5028]

Sweet bull and story!
