Luckily the bull was calm and stationary, occupied with feeding.
A legal hunt and a wonderful bull...but in the end it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth and the whole circus that revolved around the taking of this bull does not portray hunters in a positive light to the masses.
All around quite something. Not to many People can hit a Target at 960 yards. Even with lots of practice with the 7mm Rem Mag or the 8*68 Weatherby I tap out at under 500. Would love to see the actual Shooter take the shot, caliber and Rifle would also be of interest.
