[QUOTE="charles bonner, post: 875217, member: 37232"] jkupper: thanks for posting my picture.The bull was taken in N.M. unit 17 which is a ML only unit.I was able to pass up several bulls before the stalk on this one and could have taken a 4 and a 5 on the way to him.He had 2 rag horns and to spike bedded close to him along with a bunch of cows.We spotted him at 10:30 A.M. and I touched the trigger at !2:36.I debated a long time on taking the shot and was about to walk when my hunting partner said"That's a big bull and you built this rifle for this very shot!""Now get down and shoot him"At the shot we both saw dust fly about 20' to the left and he said "reload Quick"!I told him if I had missed there was no need to reload as I could not shoot a better shot then that.We did reload and he grabbed the glasses and said where is the bull.I see the cows; but no bull.Then he started laughing.The bull had rolled over a half turn and was laying with his feet straight up in the air.Looked like a big turtle hung up on his shell!He was laying in the shade and we could not see the dust from the shot until it blew out of the shadows. Sorry for the long post;but I'm still excited.Started deer hunting today-But it ain't elk hunting. [/QUOTE]
