Like Skobbie said the shot hit the bull right behind the ear. He obviously took a step forward as I pulled the trigger. But as I mentioned I have never been very good at leading an animal with a rifle. However the results speak for themselves.

 

[CAustin]

The round went through that thick neck skin shattered the vertebrate, cut the spinal cord and lodged just in the skin on the other side. As I mentioned earlier the Ruger likes this Federal Premium Bear Claws.

 

[CAustin]

He isn’t an old bull but he has a few battle scares. Now for the butchering!

 

[BenKK]

Pretty awesome performance and retention for a soft point that hit the spine!

Well done Charlie! Thanks for adding the detail as I enjoy this info as much as the harvest pictures. Good to see Skobee as well. I enjoyed meeting him in 2016.
