I wish we could have gotten all of us in the pic, but too much brush to try a self portrait.  I was just happy to be able to nail a pic since about the time we found the bull it was dark.

Hey congrats guys!! Now thats a motley crew!!! :chuckle:
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

I think he was in shock.  I said smile Jay, you just shot a moose.  Then we laughed about "I think he is thinking about having to pack it out now."   What a gorgeous evening.  Full moon coming off, steam rising from the moose,another bull grunting from the hillside,  good guys enjoying the outdoors.  

Hes  pretty close on the score.  When I first sized up the bull I was thinking 140 class but then changed my opinion to a 150 class bull.  The only thing he "lacks" is some mass and tine length, which both count for nothing in score.  I was so thrilled when I heard him put that paddle to some brush.  That sound is such a rush.  Then when we were looking for the bull "In the Deep", I was excited to walk up on it and see those Triple Brows.  We got the King of the area.  

The bull on the hill was probably that 42 incher and he was probably thrilled we just knocked out his competition.

You got a hell of a bull Jay.  I'm glad you didn't hang around and shoot this one down in that hole.
This was probably the bull he abandoned to come meet with me.  Oh the faith you trusted in me. :chuckle:

Thanks for adding your pics Bone, and thanks for all your help in me being succesful.  It is amazing how much better your pics are than mine with my point and shoot.  That first pics looks like it's broad daylight out!  Trust me fella's, it wasn't.  Hope all enjoyed the story and the photo's.
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.
You are never to old to learn something stupid.

congrats guys...way to go Jay, Silent Bob and moose whisperer.

" 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
