Unit 14 or 16, it’d hit the dirt. 13 it would get a pass. I’m not that confident on the 50” call to pull the trigger on that one based on inches.

I couldn’t tell if that was a 4th brow tine or a branch. 4th it’s hitting the dirt in any zone! In fairness I’m looking on my phone and I can’t zoom it in enough.

His antlers seem to lay out which I think helps put him past 50" and he's a shooter in a 3 brow tine area for sure. Hard to say really without a frontal view.
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

How long is the pack out? From there? Very possibly a "cut his head off and drag him out with a cable" type thing.

Three years ago we killed one we could not get to. 300 yards of combined cable and winch line made the connection. Antlers digging in promised to be a big mess... They dug in all right, but just sliced right through everything underground! I could not keep up to film it across the bog.

This one was just up and over the edge of about a 100 foot bank. There is a way around, but its a mile of brush. 300 feet of cable would do it. He was a tricky bull. Two of us both called him "50, but close" separately. Buddy had him at 3/3, I had him at 3/2 for brow tines. He was actually 2/2, with a sucker point on each side. Ended up measuring 52.5. Bull on the left. ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1280x1024q90/922/h3VAb5.jpg)

Oh no... we drove right up to both of them and lifted them with the gin poles. It was magical.
I had no moves the day I took the first picture. Could have shot him where he stood at 380, but didn't want to deal with that. Bailed out and we came back the next day and my buddy got him.
