My bulls in Eastmans!!!
« on: July 08, 2014, 07:39:52 AM »
So pumped to see that my bull from last year made it into Eastmans Bowhunting Journal.  It's been a long wait but totally worth it. You might recognize the story as I posted it here on HW before it went to them. They changed it and cut it quite a bit but it still flows nicely and I am happy with it. I'm so excited that one of my stories is now in print.

Here is my original post on HW and the uncut story.

I can only hope to someday shoot a bull like that and have my story printed. What a great bull and deserved newsprint.  :tup:

 Awesome bull! I got the mag and skimmed through and noticed the record mountain goat that James got. He got 1st in show at Puyallup 2 years ago. I did see your bull but didn't even think to read it yet as I figured it couldn't be from WA. Wow, good job.

Congrats! My buddy and I were the two that scored a twofer one day up there (recognize the avatar?) and we spoke a few times during that hunt. Wish i had joined earlier and chimmed in about the "other" bull story going on for awhile. nuff said. Send me a PM sometime and I'll send a video of my moment of truth there. Again nice job on the article.

If anybody missed it I pasted the link to the original story to the first post. You can see how they cut it up but I liked the way they did it because it still flowed nicely.
