Wow! What a fantastic trip! Great bulls for both of you....

The coolest part (to me) is how many HW dudes jumped in to make it a hunt of a lifetime for you. Well done by all!

I would like to thank everyone for the help in the preparation of our moose hunt. People spent hours on the phone with me, offered to let Me stay on there property, shower at there houses, hunt with us, come over for dinner, and numerous other accounts of kindness. I THANK YOU ALL ON BEHALF OF BUTCH AND I!
The anticipation before the hunt, scouting and preparation was awesome, spending time with friends was priceless. It is an experience that we will never forget.
Calling in these animals is incredible. Mark was the only experienced moose hunter in the group until Chris showed up. They both did very well and taught us all we know. That for Me is not very much.
The day I harvested the first Moose, Mark had spotted a cow and a calf at about 1:00pm I moved ahead so He could call for me, another Moose started moving in immediately making a ton of noise and came in to about 15 feet from me (small bull). Mark kept calling, breaking branches and raking small bushes and trees. Several minutes later a larger bull with one horn came in to about 30 yards. Wow what a rush. 
The Moose finally buggered out. We went back up to the old road. We stared to leave the area, got about three hundred yards away and decided to go back and hunt the top side of the hill. As soon as we came around the ridge and could see a larger bull was coming down and come out onto the old road. Me being unsure of a shooter, I asked for Marks approval and He stated, SHOOT IT, SHOOT IT. I could not be any happier.
I also have to thank all that participated in the hunt Butch, Mark, Glenn, Kevin, and Chris.
I had a great time hunting and camping with You all, Great Time!!!!!!!!!!
I will let Butch comment on His hunt.

Thank You all,
John

John and Butch,

Way to get it done!  Not bad for a couple JH Elkky hands...  :)   I'm real happy for you guys.  Both huge bulls!  Amazing how good you two did.  Sounds like you had good company and very helpful folks along.  So Awesome!

Butch,

Did you happen to hammer that bull with your Dads rifle?  I hope so.


Again great job and congrats you guys!  Live for these yearly Moose hunts here on huntwa..

Best,
Chuck S.
