My mate had already put one shot from the .458wm (550gn) Woodleigh SN)into the boiler room. This was the finishing shot. The inital shot wasn't taken much further, maybe another 15 - 20 metres away.

Still gets the heart going when this close to a big bull. Especially since I had the camera and my rifle slung over my shoulder. They are tough animals. There was a fair bit of cover just behind us and we had walked into the clear to finish him off.

I much prefer to shoot while walking in the thicker stuff but this wasn't a bad size animal and we only take a couple from each area we hunt.

I reckon bow hunting a bull this size would be a real hoot
