Great Hunt and Well told Story. Congratulations !!! I have not been able to tell my story yet. Second year with a lost bull. Liver hit in New Mexico and then a storm blew in. Looked for 2 days and no luck.
Congratulations again !!!

Congratulations! I applaud your determination. If you had not gone back and used your senses, you would have never found the bull. That's what makes a good hunter. Be determined and hunt smart.

Well told story of a real hunt. Thanks for sharing. Aaron, your story reminds me of my last bull. I am sure you remember him from up Wildcat.  Thanks for sharing.

Brad...Thanks for asking.  I forgot to add that part last night.  Just as I had suspected, my first shot was almost center of the body, about 10-12" too far back, in short a paunch hit.  My second shot was about an inch and a half in front of the first shot which would have been almost perfect if the bull had been quartering away like I though at the shot, but the exit wound showed he was almost perfectly broadside.
