I had a great hunt without killing a bull! I live close to the unit and I set my goal pretty high for a 6 pt or a big 5. Basically a mature bull.
I hunted hard with my hunting partner Jack and some new guys that were part of the adventure. We hunted the unit hard, and I passed up 11 bulls, which 5 were in my cross hairs. I had 1 decent opportunity at a big bull way up high, but somehow managed to screw that up.

I want to thanks these gentlemen for their support.
Ross: aka Ross crazy elk. I told him face to face he was a elk hunting freak of nature. I loved being with him opening day, and he was a constant source of encouragement.
Ken: aka 7 mm. Another hard core hunter. I enjoyed our 2 days chasing bulls!
Gerry: aka Trophy Hunt: Thanks for all the advice. You kept me hunting hard!!!
Plugger: Thanks for all the email advice. You been there done that.
Brian aka Ridgerunner. Thanks for lending me your spotting scope and all the encouragement.
Willy :aka Billy the Kid Rock. Thanks for the report on your hunt.
My brothers Eric and Craig. Ready and willing to pack it out wherever it lay.
Scott aka Fill the Freezer: Thanks for the encouragement.
God I hope I didnt leave anybody out!

My wife asked me last night how I felt about the hunt. I said great because I set my goals high and had a great time hunting with my friends and made some new ones along the way.
No regrets, only good memories!!
Good Hunting!
Bryan
