 Trust me he is going to have tag soup before he will shoot a cow.

I think to Rob it's not about just filling his tag he has a goal that he's trying to reach and maybe to him it's all or nothing.( just like wea300mag ) either way you have to admire his comitment and drive... just my

Yeah I understand that but I was just saying, if it was me....

The time and money so far? Fill the tag. A bull will be no problem. To get drown in Washington again will never happen. I say, No tag soap.

... he didn't say how wide it was but at this stage if it was 50 inches I'm going to be giving him the atomic wedge!   

"Atomic wedgie"...................now that's funny!

Well if I didn't like him so much I'd just do this to him ~

But he's acting like it's over so maybe this is better!

Alright I have time for a quick update, although there isn't much to it. Many more miles of biking and hiking has gotten me a look at a few more bulls, most of which were very small. Mark did pretty well on keeping the thread updated although I have to say my wife does understand my obsessions its just that I've been home for 5 days this month and I think the kids are starting to get to her

The best bull I saw this week would have easily been in the upper 160's but as Mark told you he only had 1 side left, it was the second bull I had seen that day like that I did spot a very nice bull in the snow from about a mile away and decided he would do, about a 155 I would guess, but by the time I got to him I couldn't find him, even in the snow.

 How appropriate I get on the computer this morning and find no less than 12 different members have sent me PM's offering to help. I can honestly tell each of you that I am very thankful today and appreciate each and every offer, should I get one and need help I will be calling. I have Joe and Jody (Outfitter) going way overboard helping me over there and also got a few calls from Brian (PendOreilleAdventures) giving me a couple places to check out.

 I know there are loads of people on here that are  there heads but you have to understand that this hunt was never about just killing something and notching a tag for me, obviously I could have done that the first day. I set a goal and planned to take it down to the last couple days to achieve it if I had to, now its down to finding something that will remind me every day of this rare opportunity I had. There will be no regrets, only memories of a wonderful hunt and good times.

 Here are a couple pics from the last few days, I will post more when its all over with.

 Thanks again to those that offered to help, I hope I will have the opportunity to return the favor in the future should you need it.

Well said.  Crazy as I'll prooly won't forget this hunt either.      Can't wait for ya to get back out there!!

Good luck Rob, it'll come together.

Honestly Rob, hats off to you for sticking to your goals, had similar thing several years ago for goat, went a couple times via float plane, passed at least eight or nine nannies, which were legal, but I wanted a bigger billy.  Both friends tagged out, one on the first day and the other on second, one came back with me for the second trip.  Again passed on a couple nannies and wanted the big guy, didn't happen, but man was it fun and the memories & experience I gained from the hunt for goat will stick with me forever.  Good luck on this last push, get what you want and don't settle for something "YOU" personally won't be happy with...
