NIce bull !

Thanks for all the congrats, it took a long time to get the tag and really glad I got him the first morning.

I used my Remington 700 XCR II in 300 win mag. 3-9x50 Leupold European scope with 180gr handloaded Nosler Partitions.


BTW, I had to measure one side for the Utah required survey. They also wanted the two front bottom teeth so I sent them in also. I can score SCI so I went and measured all the necessary measurements. IF he hadn't been broken and both sides the same he would have scored 349 3/8. Circumference #1 is 9 3/8!!! I thought he looked pretty heavy but didn't realize how thick he is.

Now I have to wait until March, 2014 for them to tell me how old he is.

Great hunt...looks like a nice older bull with character!
