My Plateau Boulder Utah Bruiser

A fantastic hunt, I am no good at field scoring so when the DWR officer put the tape to this guy I was blown away to have a 380 gross 7x7. 17 years of putting in and my dream hunt of a life time couldn't end better for me. To be honest I seen a bull bigger than this guy the night before the hunt started, but because my dad who can't get around very well was present, as was my brother Troy the best hunting guide and buddy in the world, shooting this bruiser was a no brainer. I don't know how many more memories us three will have especially like this, and the experience of this one will be hard to top. I've heard of ground shrinkage plenty, but ground growth well that's another thing all together. It was truly the hunt of a lifetime!

A few more pics of the rack caped out, the second picture actually has about the last 8" of left main beam not seen in the photo.

That is such a sweet bull. The dark horns, wavy main beams, extra off the royal - great job!

Congratulations on a sweet bull. Drew the late hunt. Have looked primarily low on the East side.Was wondering what area you were hunting if you don't mind sharing... Hunt starts the 10 th of November. I know they will move and I am planning on going out at least 3 More times. Just trying to gather as much info. as possible. I am old enough I don't have another opportunity left in me here in Utah. Any info would be very much be appreciated. Great bull and I am sure Even better memories!

Anyone with any info. that would like to talk can call me at 633- 0300.
