no, a good old pissed off bull runs around $11500 the last

time I looked. This would be a good bull with lots of character that had been a real fighter in his younger years with chipped and banged up horns. He would be a bull that had been run out of the breeding herd by a younger bull. Still a great trophy.

The next step is a mature bull with a nice set of horns and they are usually around $17500.

The next step is a top 20 bull, one that would rank somewhere in the top 20 in the world and they are usually $22,000.

A top 5 bull runs around $27000. John told me he had seen 2 or 3 big bulls on this place that would hit top 5 in the world. The bull I took is currently #2 in the world handgun. Due to me bringing so many folks there hunting John gave me a break to the next lower level at $22,000. I had talked to him a month or so before the hunt and had set my mind on a really big bull. That was when I sold off a lot of my personal guns, about $17,000 worth of them. So the price of the big bull wasn't too bad at all. If I had to shell out $22,000 and hadn't sold any of my guns, I probably wouldn't have taken the shot. But I haven't regretted it at all. I am not getting any younger and John and I have passed up probably 2 dozen bulls in the past before he pointed to this bull trotting at us and said "there is your bull".
