Thanks for the comments. The last shot on the bull was a 160 accubond at 260 yds. I was kinda surprised he didn't drop on the spot.
They are my favourite animal to hunt for all the reasons you guys have commented on.

Yeah that would have been me, you should have said hello. A hunt will be good. I'll probably get out a bit more come spring. Keep in touch. How is the archery going?

Great story and I enjoyed the pics. Congratulations. Just curious what the weight on one of those?

A big bull tahr will go about 300 lb. The hide on their shoulder is about 1/4" thick. They are solid animals.
