This was with an outfitter I've hunted with in the past and had good success. I've posted results in the past on this forum including a video of my son's hunt 3 years ago.

The first morning we were into bugling bulls at the crack of dawn. There were at least 6 bulls within 150 yds of us in the quakies, but they kept pushing the cows out in front of us. Finally one of them responded to a soft cow call and came to within 30 yds., but no shot.

A little later we came upon a wallow and decided to set up there for a while. No more than 10 minutes later a good bull came to the wallow and laid down. We waited until he got up and started to move off, but still could not get a shot.

10 minutes later the bull I shot (top photo) came to the wallow and presented a wide open broadside shot at 15 yds. He went about 70 yds. My guide got the whole thing on video.

My son's bull was a classic cat and mouse game that lasted 2 hours on our third day. He finally responded to me cow calling about 50 yds. uphill of my son's location. He shot him at 15 yds. with a straight on chest shot. This bull went 80 yds. before piling up.

All in all a great hunt. I'm booked every time I can draw a tag until I can't walk anymore!

Beautiful bulls! Congratulations.

Fine big bulls regardless how they were collected.
Even better with a stick n string.
Congrats and thanks for sharing.
