Persistence Kills the Big Bull, Washington Moose
« on: October 05, 2024, 03:41:38 PM »
2024 Once in a Lifetime Washington Shiras Moose
4 Days of patiently watching and hunting this specific bull from a distance away. Late nights and early mornings of waiting for an opportunity. Then finally one cold morning made him make a mistake.
17 hours later and 15.5 Miles of packing meat to the truck. The hunt I have been looking forward to all summer has finally come to an end.
This hunt had everything I wanted in a hunt and more. Something that I will always cherish and remember.

The hardest part of any hunt is finding the animal your after, next is persistence in sticking to that animal. Great job on a very nice wa bull.

I just noticed that the bull has holes on each paddle. Are those bullet holes?
