It was a guided hunt on one of Utah's CWMU's. We had been glassing nice bulls for 2 days, but had not found the "one" I was hoping for. On the 3rd morning, we spotted a bull low and across the canyon from us. My guide got him in his Swaro spotting scope + iPhone Phone Skope combo, and we decided to go after him.

He was 1180 yards away, so we dropped down till we hit an opening in the scrub oak where the range was 847. I set up on my sticks for the shot. There was no wind, and we were now almost level with the bull, so no up/down angle to consider. Took 2 hits in the right shoulder to put him down.

My rifle was a McWhorter Custom, Stiller action, Brux barrel (1/8.5" twist). McMillan stock, TriggerTech trigger, Leupold VX6HD 3-18x44 scope with custom turret. Used a G7BR2 range finder.

excellent!

What a great bull. That will fill your freezer and your wall. I hunted with an STW for a number of years when I first moved to the west. Always had great results on Coues deer, Elk, and Antelope. My G7 has accounted for a large number of game animals going into the freezer. Mainly Coues deer at extended ranges. I'm curious what Gunwerks is going to replace it with. I guess we'll see soon.
