The moment we found out he drew we immediately started making contacts. We went scouting in August a few times and found a lot of good Bulls. With the help of two good friends from the area we had some very nice Bulls to pursue opening day. This bull was #1. This bull was out in this spot a couple mornings in a row last week. The season opened on Friday and we knew this bull would be here. So Thursday we went to look for another bull. My dad decided this was the bull we would spend our time on. Well Wouldn't you know it the first moose we spotted Friday morning was him! And he was found before legal shooting light! He was making his way towards the corn quick as he was following 3 cows. As it often is the last few minutes before the shot were chaos. We hurried down a shelterbelt and a small bull spooked and ran right towards them. So then we basically sprinted down the belt and jumped across to the other side. I cow called quick just as the moose were about to the corn and they stopped. I ranged him at 408 yards and my dad took the shot. We "think" the first shot was a clean miss. Then he pumped another one in and he was clearly hit and the bull started to run to the corn and he racked another shell in him. He started tipping back and I thought for sure he was going down right there. But he made it into the corn. We ended up having to track him a ways through the corn and he was able to put 3 more bullets through the vitals. It was an awesome experience. He ended up dying about ten yards off the road in a flooded out drainage. So basically zero corn was harmed. Thanks a million to the landowner who's land he shot him on and who also helped us load him!- - - Updated - - -[ATTACH]2363[/ATTACH]His paddle length is incredible as you can tell from previous pics and this picture really shows off his great fronts! My dads reaction when we walked up to him was priceless!</blockquote>
