Connected in Wyoming

The hunt I went on was with Non Typical Outfitters. We hunted out of their Big Park camp. The area they took me into was steep but there was a lot of open country. We saw 9 bulls before 8 am. We set up at a glassing point. We had 2 groups of cows and bulls come out but we could still hear the bull I killed in the timber. He finally came out and got to where I could shoot. 535 yards. I hurt him with the first round, 2 round dropped him like a rock. (so we thought) He got back up and walked down hill toward some aspens. 3 more rounds sent over him. Finally my guide settled me down got me on a solid rest. I sent round 6 at 646 yards and down he went. I shoot 180 grain Bergers out of a 7mm.

Nothing like a bull you thought was down getting back up to get the adrenaline flowing, right?

Sounds like that second shot was little high and "spined" him. Same thing happened to me with a muzzleloader....TWICE. He went down like poleaxed, then after a couple of minutes got back up and staggered back the way he came.
You wouldn't believe how fast you can reload when you have to...

Great looking bull. Would you recommend Non Typical Outfitters? I am looking at going out west in hopefully in the next year or 2. Living in Arkansas it is a bucket list hunt to go out west after after elk.

For me I like NTO. The owners and the guides are great. This was my second time hunting with them. As Robb tells all the hunters it is your hunt. They will hunt as hard as you want to hunt. I was very fortunate to kill my bull opening morning. The other hunters had been on bulls almost every day and had multiple shots but had not connected before I left. The food was great and plenty of it and the horses are sound and very sure footed.If you are interested in going on a hunt with them you will need preference points so I would start applying for them now. Any other questions feel free to ask i am more then happy to share my experiences with them.
