Lastly I couldn't have done any of this without my much older bald brother Mr Coachcw himself!  Thanks buddy!  I know it won't be our last adventure but it damn sure will probably be our finest hour!

Those are all the pics I have on my phone.  I'm sure the guys have a few others and will chime in eventually.  Thank you again to everyone!  Like I said in the beginning, this is Aaron's bull but it's also Huntwa's bull!  I have no way of repaying the debt I owe this community for all that you have done for Aaron's family, my family, and our veteran community.  I hope I did not only the tag justice but all of you justice in trying to share my adventure.  You guys rock :tup:

What an awesome way to end a chapter! And what an epic hunt! You did a lot more than do that tag justice. Congrats to you and I'm glad you were able to share it with such good friends!

You hit a home run for your bro as well Grats once again.
Mass for days on that Bull. :tup:
"When my bow falls, so shall the world. When me heart ceases to pump blood to my body, it will all come crashing down. As a hunter, we are bound by duty, nay, bound by our very soul to this world. When a hunter dies we feel it, we sense it, and the world trembles with sorrow. When I die, so shall the world, from the shock of loosing such a great part of ones soul." Ezekiel, Okeanos Hunter
