i shot this bull last year on a pack in elk hunt in unit 36 by ruidoso.
i had been packed in hiking hell holes for 6 days staright which landed me on day 3 of my muzzleloader hunt.
i had been chasing a 7x7 when i saw this guy. i was physically exhausted at that poit and knew i was on my last leg. it was last light and the 7x7 was held up in some trees 200 yards away and i decided to shoot this bull simply because he was so wide.
i honestly thought he was a 220" type 5x5 and decided to take him and hike to the nearest road and call my wife for extraction.
well i retreived my bull the next day with horses and never really had energy enough to analyze him and enjoy the moment.
when i got my bull back last week i was blown away. i could have sworn i shot a rag horn.
lets just say hes much bigger than 220".
anyone care to guess his score???
