WY Shiras
« on: October 06, 2012, 10:34:48 PM »
After 32 years of waiting for a tag my mom Finally drew. We watched this Bull and Another bull all summer and with a couple failed attempts during the archery season she sealed the deal this morning on this great bull with her rifle. I called him into 80 yds she made a great shot he went about 30 yds and went down.

What a great bull! Your scouting paid off well. How far from home were hunting?

Epic hunt of the year by the looks of the photos.  Unreal!   Tell her congrats from a jealous moose enthusiast.  I am almost in the running for that tag.  almost......     Here we are in our Tshirts begging for a drizzle or something.   That is just neat!

Awesome that you get to hunt with your mom. Very fine bull.

Dandy bull and congrats to your mom. Looks like a great adventure.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
