Unfortunately I must report that Dakota wasn't able to close the distance on the last night. He did have a bull bugling nearby but never got him to come in just at dark.
So I close the chapter here and look forward to another great trip next year. I've been fortunate to be able to have a place that annually lends itself to providing a great challenge and yet even greater reward as well.
Thanks to all that have checked in on the thread and to all that reponded as well, thank you.
