My son took this giant bull last Saturday. First archery kill, DIY on public land. I scored him at 364, Local archery shop owner got 362 5/8. A monster no matter how you score it.

Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
Ain’t easy havin pals.

He has it on Facebook, etc. Don't think posting on here will be too big of a deal. If somebody can figure out where that spot is from that pic, more power to them.

Thats a shooter. Nice job to your son! It takes about 3 of the bulls that I typically shoot to add up to that monster. lol. I told him me might as well hang up the bow and retire now. That's a walk off home run on the first swing.

You should tell him he’ll never get a big one if he shoots the first one he sees.

Centershot: WHOA! Good for your team on the trophy bull! Many happy returns of that day. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy He has been on cloud 9 all week. I think it will take years for him to really understand what a trophy that bull really is. Bulls like that are extremely rare in Over the Counter, Public Land, Do it Yourself hunts. He's keeping humble and knows that there was a huge helping of luck associated with that bull. Only thing better than doing it yourself is having one of your kids do it......Now I need to find me a spike or ranghorn. lol

Wow, awesome bull. Bet you're looking for wall space to hang that giant on. He and is girlfriend are having that very discussion. She is not quite as excited about it as he is though. lol. Local archery shop owner said he had a good spot for it if the GF doesn't warm up to the idea. I think it will be hanging in the local Sportsman's Warehouse until after the Bucks and Bulls - so he has until January to talk her into it. I told him it would make a hell of a fishing pole rack in the garage..........he wasn't too impressed with that idea. lol.
