Hi Shawn. Now we know. Congrats on such a fine animal. Animals like that only present themselves to those that are worthy.

Great read, sounds like it couldn’t have happened to a better person. Truly once in a life time harvest.

Congrats on an amazing animal to the hunter.

Amazes me that with the hunting pressure, eyes and game cams that are out everywhere now a days that animals can still grow to this size... gives hope for us all that just around that next bush will be the trophy of a lifetime.

"In fact, O’Shea’s bull has more inches of antler than any other North American game animal taken by archery equipment"



What an experience that must've been, to look over and see that brute standing there. Congrats!
