[QUOTE="sp6x6, post: 2401542, member: 21869"] I walked up on a bull, he is simply known as #10,6x6.Was bedded 1/4 toward me, i thought why hammer him threw shoulder Ill save all that meat.I raise up his neck area and send a 225 NP,out of my 340wby.Hes up and spins of sidehill,I get no follow up and im in disbelieve that hes not down. I follow small drops of blood,loose him for while in a mess of track.Back track and hes headed up steep mountain in wilderness area.I final catch him,and have shoot threw alders and there goes the shoulders.You could put a #4 bar threw his neck,I missed bone and artery both,shot almost center,traveled about 3/4 mile. Story 2-I was on same ridge,made it to top,tracked a buck off and spooked him.He headed out,so did I.I was way off only mile from out,caught buck in timber and took a snap shot at him,thick trees.I was close but all I could see was gray.Small drops of blood,thought I center punched him with a dont even recall grn,but barnes x,out of my 325wsm.I gave him some time,then started tracking, going real slow figured he bed.Then he turned straight up,and im in real steep country.By noon,Im down to t -shirt and shin deep.Hes heade for saddle I went threw in morning,that was about 1500' gain.I think im going shoot him right before saddle,but Itrack him in brush and hes behind me and threw saddle.But I caught him once,it game on.He goes to side hill,so I go to a lope.Once I see where hes looking back for me ,by his track and theres blood out front,good sign.I cover the whole side hill drainage and im headed to some more open mature timber,this where it ends,with a Texas heart shot.I had dead center neck shot him,buck in my avatar.I was out that morning at 4am,and got to rig at 12pm.After pulling the mountain 2x.Hardest packout Ive done.Moral of story I dont neck shoot.
