I'm more impressed with the determination and time spent finding the spot as well as the woodsmanship to get it done with a longbow.  My hat's off to you on that one Bone!  Congrats on a memory that will live forever and a freezer that is no longer empty.  Oh yeah, it's a STUD of a buck too!  8)

Congrats on a great buck Doug.  Job well done and sounds as if it was well earned.
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.

I'm nearly speachless.  (that doesn't happen often)

" I did it in his domain, not in the rut in November, and not on the winter range.  I was in the hardest terrain I could imagine to do a stalk,"

That says it all right there. You can be proud of that hunt for the rest of your life.

Congratulations on a great adventure, being safe and harvesting a great buck.

You've earned it.

That's a trophy in so many ways, congrats! :)

And I just have to ask...it took you 10 hours to hike in and then you had to hike out with your gear and a big buck (hopefully most of it downhill).  How long on the hike out?  2 trips to take your gear and the meat/horns?  Man, lotta work!

Wow,
Bone, what did you do to prepare yourself for this hunt?  I mean in regards of what shape were you in going into this adventure? 
This is absolutely increadable story, thank you for sharing.
