Good for him.  I saw pics of this bull, never got to see him alive.  Excellent for that old timer.  I'm glad it worked out for him.

That is very cool and one heck of a bull ...all those old timers should have a tag handed to them after they hit 65 !

Very cool, I can only pray my dad gets his first bull before he passes on.  Very nice of the property owners in the area to let him hunt there!

I read that this morning. Its a pretty powerful and moving story. From the work he put into the hunt, to the help that everyone else gave him and finally his praise of the animal and God.

Really makes a guy take a step back and appreciate all that we have in nature and the kindness of those around us.
