All,
One of my longest standing dreams has finally come true. A 370+ bull would have been nice but I have always wanted at least a 350 bull. After taking a look at this bull, I didn't care if he was 330 or 380, he just looked good. With his long sharp brows, devil points and drop tine, he just look flat out wicked. To my surprise his official SCI score was 352-2/8". This was a Yellowstone National Park migratory bull taken about 25 miles from the park border. I saw tons of bulls. Lots of 6x6 bulls and many in the 330-360" range. I passed a lot of bulls waiting for the right looking bull. Some had busted tines or short 3rds etc...
Shot was 598 yards and I'm sad to say that I missed a couple shots due to very high and very inconsistent wind but finally my guide saw where one of them hit and he said "right under his nose". I said, "That's all I need". With a windage correction, I squeezed the 7oz. Jewell trigger and my guide said "He's upside down"! That one hit the high shoulder dead center on the spine. I figured the 210 ACCUBOND would have become an ACCUBOMB hitting all that bone but to my surprise the bullet looked textbook and the damage looked anything like an explosion had taken place. The hide on the opposite side had caught the bullet.
