I got lucky on day 4 and was able to take this bull. His velvet was freshly shed and the rack still showed blood residue from the velvet. I was able to make a stalk to within about 22 yards, while he was preoccupied with thrashing a 12-foot tamarack tree.

At the shot, he didn't realize he was hit, and resumed tearing up the tree for a little while, before finally staggering off and expiring about 10 yards away.
