Here is the bull I got this year in unit 61. I got him the first morning of the hunt. My brother Greg ( Gadget on M.M. )spotted this bull Friday evening with 3 other bulls and got a few pictures through the spotting scope and showed them to me at camp that night. There was one other bull that was nearly as big as this one, but didn't have the fifth's like this one. I had a hard time sleeping that night. Saturday morning finally came and we were out there early waiting for daylight. When daylight came I spotted 2 bulls at first. Then a third bull. Not the one I was looking for. Then I looked a little closer to us and there he was. After getting set up and ready to shoot, Greg ranged him at 480 yards. I set my turret on my vortex viper scope on top of my savage weather warrior 300 win mag shooting federal premium 180 grain trophy bonded tip bullets. I asked Greg, mark and Zach if they were on him and they all whispered just squeeze the trigger. After the shot and hearing that unmistakable sound they all said he is down. He slowly got back up and I put him back down for good. I'd like to thank my brother Greg and good friend Mark and his son Zach for all their help with this hunt and packing him out. After waiting 9 years for this tag, I couldn't be happier with this bull.

I did want to add this photo of Mark, Greg and Zach. Sorry it's sideways. I tried to get it turned but couldn't get it done.

Hey Vince, great photo's of your bull. Glad you came over to our camp that day you got back to show us in person. We were in the 2 fifth wheels across from your camp. I found a big bull 3 miles south of 416 rd tv towers on top but could only get to 1500 yds last nite of season. I tried my ass off. Congrats again! Bryan
 
Thanks everyone for your comments. Elkduds, this bull was taken on public land. Bryan, sorry to hear you didn't get your bull. Sounds like you had a good one spotted. Did anybody else around there do any good? Send me a P.M. and we'll talk about your hunt. Frijoles.
 
He more than makes up for his 3rds and I would of not been sleeping all Friday night as well.. One of the best looking bulls I have seen come out of there... Jealous as heck as that is a great bull... Looking forward to seeing your pic after he is back from the taxidermist!!! Congratulations on one dandy Colorado bull...
