this bull took three shots, the first two behind the shoulder he showed no sign of being hit.... when he noticed me at 50 yards after the first 2 and started to walk off, boom a third! he stops, goes fwd backwards side to side and then drops! we pulled him off the mud to deeper water then pulled him to where there the pictures are taken/come along to clean him up.

Nice Bull, Congrats. Any trouble keeping him cool till you got home? Just wondering how you took care of him after he was down.

after my buddy and i killed our bulls we de-boned all the meat and cooled it in a creek for about an hour or so to get out the heat. Then we put the meat into cotton pillow cases hung it til most of the water dried up and then doubled bagged it with recycling plastic bags (they're heavy duty) and sunk it where the creek went into the lake.

We use cotton pillow cases because there cheap (thrift stores) , breath-able, re-useable and flys cant lay through the bags like cheese cloth bags.

For the drive we put them on ice in large igloo coolers, stopped in chewynd for a night and stored it in cold storage and iced up in the morning and came home to the butcher

sadly i lost the velvet after doing my best to save it...I wasnt prepared to get a big bull and to deal with the velvet in the backwoods and the drive home

.When i was able to call in a favor and have some formaldehyde in my hands through my other halfs doctors office after getting home it was too late But Ray my taxidermist said her can have it sent off to have it re-velveted. I really think this bull suits the velvet.
