I will have more pictures to share with you all later. Also, we got some great video of the hunt, and I cannot wait to see the film's final edit and for you all to see it. I have to say a BIG thank you to Leupold, Scott, and Bruce for making this dream come true! Another BIG thank you to Jon with Ghost Cat films. He was an excellent addition to our camp, and we are blessed to have gotten to hunt with him. We now call him a friend! Lastly, but most importantly, none of this would have been possible without God blessing me with this opportunity, my loving family, and friends! I had countless people support me, and they were a source of my motivation, and their prayers gave me the strength I needed to thrive in the backcountry, which led us to our success!

Also, I highly recommend you apply for the Leupold Project Hunt next year! It is worth the little effort and time it takes to apply. I am sure thankful my wife convinced me to step out of my comfort zone, and I hope any of you out there can have the same opportunity.

Thank you. I'm still in shock; my first OIL tag was a goat tag! Yeah, I'm going to do a half mount, and I dropped him off at Black River taxidermy. This will be my first mount done by him, and he came highly recommended. His work looks fantastic! I can’t wait to see it done.
