Helluva first animal, let alone bull. It might be hard for her to top that one. Congrats to your wife on the harvest and to you for getting to spend some quality family time in the hunting woods! :tup:

That is what it is all about!! The new experiences and the SMILE!! I enjoy seeing the "firsts" more than most of the great animals killed by the many great hunters we have on here. They are all great but the firsts are really cool!

Congrats to her and the guide, enjoy that full freezer!!  :IBCOOL:

That is awesome, great work! I remember walking up on my first elk. It was a spike, and I'd hunted probably 7 or 8 hears to get one. I was amazed at how big it was compared to a deer. That bull has a massive body, I'm sure the shock was tangible.
