14" Bull Thar

No wonder my mate Chris is chuffed. His first ever bull thar and measured over 14”.
When I first spotted this monster at a comfortable range of 137 metres, on the opposite lip of a slip we were peering out onto, I didn’t dare let on what he was about to shoot at. That would have been a sure reciepe for a case of buck fever.
