I went with a buddy of mine that has hunted the area for several years . Over a 10 day hunt we heard a few bulls but couldn't close the distance and make it happen . On the second to last day I eased back into an area that had a few cows hanging around looking to shoot one of them . This bull answered a cow call and come straight down the trail I was standing on before I could back off up wind . I was standing by the crest of the hill and I ended up shooting him square in the chest at about 3 steps . As he bolted forwards at the shot I literally had to dive to my left falling on my bow breaking my quiver and an arrow . I havent been that emotional about killing an animal since my first deer as a kid . Definitely a hunt I will never forget .

That is what I love, a great story behind a great trophy. Well done on both!
