Colorado bull from a three years ago.

antlerradar · Mar 23, 2020

I watch this bull for five years. Got pictures of him for three. The first picture is his best year, the second picture is from the year earlier and the velvet picture is form the last year.
My son had the tag his best year. He was off at collage so I tried to find him.

Spent at least part of 21 days looking and failed to find him. After the season he showed up. Another hunter got him during rifle season the next year.

My CO muzzy bull the day before I shot him.

I don't do too much with pics, but here's one of my coolest scouting video's

Cheers, Pete

hobby_hunter · Mar 24, 2020

One and only time we found this guy.

hobby_hunter · Mar 24, 2020

None of these bulls got huge, but probably my favorite trail cam photo.

elkhunterUT · Mar 24, 2020

I drew a Wasatch Expo tag in 2009 and had this bull hitting my camera in early August. He disappeared during the hunt and I could not turn him up again - great bull!

Cavalier · Mar 24, 2020

DOES THIS SHOT MAKE MY BUTT LOOK BIG?

Clint · Mar 24, 2020

Bugling for the ladies

Abiggerfish2fry · Mar 24, 2020

ridgetops · Mar 24, 2020

I was really hoping to find this cool piebald bull during the season but he would always disappear a few weeks before the hunt started. I have pictures of him three years in a row.

ridgetops · Mar 24, 2020

Here's an awesome 8x6 that was ready for business but he also disappeared right before the opener.

ridgetops · Mar 24, 2020

My wife's cousin ended up killing this bull the following year.

ridgetops · Mar 24, 2020

This split beamed bull was high on my hit list a couple years ago but once again, he disappeared and I never saw him again after this picture was taken.

c3 · Mar 24, 2020

@ridgetops, those are impressive bulls without doubt !!!
Cheers, Pete

Rimrock · Mar 25, 2020

I had 3 extended encounters with this handsome old bull at very close range. I had him at 60 yards, twice, with an arrow nocked. He was corralling his harem of a dozen cows, running off 3 smaller bulls, tearing up trees, wallowing in the mud, and screaming his lungs out. It was an incredible experience to witness. After a terribly difficult debate with myself, I reluctantly decided to pass on him.

These photos were taken while I sat 80 yards above him with my heart pounding and the wind slightly in my favor. The second photo is of him testing the wind, a few minutes before he rounded up the girls and headed for the timber.

That was wonderful, thank you. Man I want a tag So Bad this year ...p

ridgetops · Mar 26, 2020

I wished so bad that this picture would have been better in focus. I'm sure I shaking too bad of excitement at the time.

But I did get some great video footage.

antlerradar · Mar 26, 2020

This bull gave me the slip the next year. Had him coming to a cow call, but too bad for me a little five point was quicker to respond. I found the sheds form a year earlier and that year he would have netted 400 if his spread was 42 4/8.

Desert bull gang. My first day scouting for a tag I drew. These bulls move a lot; it's hard to keep tabs on a bull in this country. The bull on the right had my attention. Only saw him one other time.

nontypical · Mar 29, 2020

Drew another tag in 2018 and found this giant 3 days before the archery season opened. Only found him one more time. Kinda early

for him to already have a harem..

nontypical · Mar 29, 2020

Caught this guy bugling.

nontypical · Mar 29, 2020

Wrong side of the fence... I killed a bull on the right side of the fence later on.

smokingfire · Apr 1, 2020

Fresh out of a wallow during the middle of the rut.

Outhntn · Apr 1, 2020

This guy was seen numerous times in one of our hayfields. Several hunters knew about him but he preferred this spot with his little buddy. He slipped by us several times during archery season but we caught up with him again on the opener of Montana's general season. His gross score is 413 3/8".

Wapitiwilly · Apr 4, 2020

This is a trail cam picture of my last years archery bull. Pictures can be a little deceiving?

Focoelkman · Apr 12, 2020

Is he smaller than he looks!???? Hahah Kidding - this is a great thread, and super impressive bulls.

This guy was shot a couple days later and went 387 if I recall....He was in an Alberta prairie zone with an open season when I took this pic (draw tag) and the next season opened the next day. Only 3-4 tags and this bull took Alberta bull of the year that year.
