Here's a bull that my friend killed last year. I shared it over in the backcountry camo thread in the equipment forum, but I figured I'd go ahead and share it here as well. My dad is on the left and my friend (known as bloomy here, but he's only posted 3 times) is on the right.

Missed him by that much! :cry:

It is against forum policies to post pictures of large bulls without listing the coordinates where it was killed.... or it should be. That's a beauty! Good job Bloomy.

Got a story to go with it? Draw tag or 0TC?

This was an OTC bull. I don't know the whole story, because I left the day before they got this bull. His story will be coming out in Extreme Elk in the next issue, after his story comes out, I'll share it here.

Brent, I think its in the next, next issue. I thought it was supposed to be in this one, but I think it will be in the next one that comes out. Probably March-ish? I was very excited to get this one, but alas, it wasn't in there.
