I felt a little pressure (I put it on myself) to shoot a good bull having waited for 10 years for a tag here in Az. The year I manage to get drawn I am in dental school, and my time to hunt is short, so that makes the stress worse. ( I kept telling myself just to have fun, but I had waited a long time) I spent 20 days scouting during July-Sept. (weekends) and had a few good bulls picked out. I messed up a stalk on a big bull opening morning i had videod and then proceded to miss a giant bull that evening. Got short video of him. On the second day made a few stalks and called in a bunch of small bulls and then shot this bull at 7 yards at 4:45pm. He is far from the biggest bull I found but I made the decision to shoot and did not regret it, I'm completely happy. He is a smaller than the pics show, thanks again to my photographer :D
Anyway here is video and pictures. It looks like I waited too long to shoot but who cares. He went about 100 yards and fell over.

Smitty the big one was huge, I just didn't have enough guts to keep waiting, If the video on the web does it justice I'll post video of the big one. Thanks for the comments.
