" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Great bull, thanks for sharing the pics and congrats to your Gramps.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

Great bull :drool:

You should be proud because it doesn't matter about the size of the animal it's all about the memories - you'll absolutely cherish them later. ;)

This random picture popped up that might be the same great bull ? Thought Grandpa's gun was a older Remington 740 semi-auto. Although it might just be a Browning Safari. Which ever it does look good hung in those antlers.
