Thanks, fellas!

This was my first bull, and it made an impression on me after spending 5 hours and as many disposable skinning blades quartering and hanging the meat. Much bigger task and animal than my previous cows.

The fact that the bullet didn’t exit with a broadside shot between ribs was underwhelming to say the least. After seeing the size of his shoulder bones, I doubt I would’ve recovered him with a quartering toward shot.

As soon as I got off the mountain, I went to the same Walmart I bought my tag at and purchased the same rifle in 450 Bushmaster. I look forward to carrying it with Buffalo Bore 275gr Barnes on board going forward.

I’ll hang onto the 300 BLK for my son to learn with on deer and cow elk.
