My big bull I shot this year was rutting hard, shot first week of October and he had 8 cows with him. I hung him for 6 days and he has been great so far. We pushed my dads bull through a series of brush before he ended up shooting him after about a 3 mile run. He was tender as can be after 7 days.
You may have just got a tough one. It happens, even with young bulls sometimes.
