As in the bullet failed to let this bull walk away! 950 yrds thru the edge of the shoulder and the motor turned into jello. He didnt give us a good shot at first so I watched this bull for two hours in a 100x40 yrd patch of timber. He finally fed back out and gave us a chance. Wind conditions were perfect ,all 6 days prior the wind was terrible. The country is extreme to say the least , worst pack out I have even been on , not even fit for a mule. Took three of us two days to back it out. He will go around 270 so not the biggest bull but we will never forget it.We had to stash water on the way in as it was warm.we have a tag left so we will go back in in a week ,work gets in the way of the important stuff again. shot was taken from behind the guy on the right in the last picture.
