Success always makes a bad hunt a great hunt! Hot days, full moon, silent bulls and the whole gammit of crap that makes a hunt hard is where it really shows the quality of the hunter for sticking with it and doing the deed! Congratulations on a trophy!

Jackelope - I wanted to swing by and say hi but I was determined to kill a bull before the season was over!  And yeah you weren't the only ones that were fighting the battle of no bulls bugling!  It was a tough year thats for sure!

Jon, just found this post great bull and congrats for capatalizing on a tough hunt thats a feat in itself.  It was a tough year for us as well the bulls in Idaho were really quiet as well.  They were very fired up in Eastern Montana though just tough when your alone.  Congrats!
