Wasted bull and poor choices story

[BigHornRam]

Why? I debated doing it in two different locations these year. There's a ton of potential for these situations with all of the crappy public land access we have in some areas.

15 miles to pack a bull out by himself. Still early in the season and warm. Think that bull would have spoiled either way.

I watched part of his bighorn sheep hunt and came to the conclusion there is likely far more to this story than he “made a perfect shot”.

Just for my own clarification:
28Nosler (what bullet?) thru both shoulders AND lungs runs far enough to get into private (200 yds?) plus the yardage into private?
Shoot a bull through lungs knowing they still can go quite a ways? 200 yd fir a bull hit through lungs no big deal.
Will not disclose where he shot it?
Will not disclose ranch?

IMO: if you are going to hunt property lines recognize the consequences and be prepared to take high shoulder break down shots. Personally, I have never seen a bull take a step if hit there correctly. This is no different than hunting a steep canyon that would be hell to pull a bull out of, anchor him. If you hiked 16 miles, I would think you are a capable hunter, using a .28 Nosler so be prepared.

I understand the LO to degree but like Monday Night Football C'Mon man on knowing where you are and what shot you must take. IMO you have an obligation to the LO whose property lines you are hunting to hunt accordingly to protect their rights as well.

It looks like he might think ungulates have four shoulders.

He hiked his ass of 15 miles to hunt a fence line. I think the guy is full of it.

That's a 30 mile round trip!

Maybe he's built like Quadzilla.

I think the young guys call that core AF.

Is this guy related to the Dirt Bike Kid AKA Elkshape?

It's settled - this guy's ready to be an influencer.

I see you've been following this debacle as well.....

Lol At that range that type of cartridge would blow the lungs completely out of the body.
This guy’s full of chit.

I thought that too but it made my mind wander a bit, like “will my rifle do this (300 WBY)?”, then I thought how a bull would run so far on two open lungs.

Yeah I don't see him making just one trip either

Guy posted on Rokslide this morning that he turned the Elkshape guy in for hunting off a dirt bike illegally. Thread blew up, and about 4 guys said they had knowledge of said shenanigans. I'm not on IG, but apparently Elkshape has been deleting the "haterz" who've been asking about it. 'Slide mods pulled the thread because they said they wanted to verify. The natives are restless.......

Im willing to bet 95% of people on this forum would have taken the same shot.

Double lung, pencil-through shooting coming up around the 26min mark. Thats a long video for a ewe hunt.

Definitely ultra Maga core af to pull that off.....

I assume he meant 15 miles total 7.5 in.
