Congrats. Looks like a fun time in the snow!
My go to shot is the shoulder. They don't run far after that. Nice bull!Farther then I've ever shot before, 4 shots , 434 was the first shot it hit him in front of the the shoulder base of the neck, (that was my fault). Didn't really react much ran to 511 where I hit him high shoulder and he dropped. He rolled over with his head and shoulder up which made me nervous so I hit him twice more it the front shoulder high. Not my best work if I'm being honest but I didn't want him getting up.
What unit were you hunting? great bull by the way!
Nice bullJust took my first Bull 2 days ago here in Nevada. Tough conditions and lack of elk was making it rough. What elk we could spot were high around 9000ft. This bull showed up out of nowhere hanging out with some horses, and I was able to make it happen. It was one hell of a pack out with just me and my dad in the dark at 8°F, so grateful and a hunt Ill never forget.
