He's a giant bull in my eyes. Lol. I don't know what a 400" bull looks like then.

A lot of MASS! Lol.

Have you shot those heads out to any distance? How do they fly? I'm really liking how they look

I have shot them to 80 and they fly perfect with field tips.

I've killed two bulls with rifles but after following this thread I'll be looking into a diy bow hunt next year for sure! The way you achieved the success of this hunt is priceless.

haha pictures don't do a 400" bull justice. If you walk in the room with one mounted, you will just stop in your tracks and oogle for about 5 minutes before you can operate. It is an absolute monster of an animal.

yep. I was close to elk from day one. I was inside of 120 yards 2-3 times, but they just werent fully ready to commit to calls. They were going nuts the morning I shot this bull

No doubt. I dated a girl in college who's dad had a 340 5x5 and a 395 6x6 on the wall. I could just stare at those two bulls for hours.

Outstanding. Congrats again.

Yes the way OnX works is you can download map grids on your phone that will work with no service. It saves the maps to your hard drive of your phone and then uses the GPS built in even when you dont have cell signal
