Congrats, awesome story and great looking bull!
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.

Great story. Sounds like you really earned your bull. Next time I see a hunting show and see some guide get out of the truck with his client and walk 200 yds and shoot a trophy elk will think of your story.
Again congrats

Way to get after it and make it happen.  Having that sort of motivation when you're alone is tough, especially when tent camping in cold wet weather.  What a reward!  Look at the front end of that sucker!  Congrats!

Thank you everybody for the very kind words. My body is still feeling it, but boy was it worth it (it may be months before I come of this high). The tips of both of my big toes have been numb since I have been back but are starting to get a little more feeling in them.

I was able to recover the bullet between the skin and the ribs on the opposite side. I read a lot on here about people not caring for the PowerBelts, especially in the 295 grain, and it got me thinking a lot but it was too close to the season to change. After recovering the bullet I couldn't ask for a better performance. I don't know if I was just lucky on this occasion but seeing this bullet sure makes me a believer in it.
