Holy *censored*t.  Wow!  Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would end this way....  Kinda cool..  You know the best part is the hunt isn't over yet!!!  You gonna give us 34 pages of anticipation waiting for you to find those sheds????   I hope so.  crazy.  And congrats on a great bull with your bow!

I should also mention, one of the bonuses of taking it with archery gear is there was ZERO blood shot meat. :IBCOOL:

My sincere Congratulations to you huntnphool and M_Ray (and the rest of your band of brothers) Glad to finally know how things ended up. Things were getting a little on the intense side around here with everyone wanting (needing) to know how it ended. I have to agree with Shag when he said....... Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would end this way....  Kinda cool."" Well said Shag! Looking forward to seeing the pictures (I have dial up) and in time....your mount.

congrats phool...you had a hell of a hunt.  i think there are very few people who could go that long and pass up that many bulls and take it down to the wire like you did.  hope you get a chance to look for the sheds

Phool what a story, I am sorry I could not be of much help on the hunt for you, but will be glad to help with the shed hunt if that comes together. I have to say that I tried to arrow the bull I got but didn't hold out and have a ton of respect for you for that. I know that it makes it very speical to take a bull with a bow. Your hard work and efforts has paid off. Way to go!!!!!!!!! I am hooked on the moose as well. I would hunt for them every year if I could. Win the powerball and I am heading to the AK every year you can count on that.  8)

congrats rob. i am impressed by this adventure like i was with the raffle deer tag hunter last year. you guys do those tags the kind of justice they deserve....not sure i could do it that way. glad you got the meat in the freezer and hope like mad you get those shed bones...that would be the end to a true once in a lifetime 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
