It was definitely something that I will never ever forget and to share it with such a great guy is a bonus.
My brother also bolted to us from work and helped us dress him out so that was amazing to share it with him too.

We also took the whole show to my parents place so that my dad could see him. 
Lots of hugs and high fives last night and a pizza and beer dinner to finish it off.
(Thanks to my mom and wonderful girlfriend laura)
What a night i just hope i dont wake up.

Great story and great bull having a hunting partner like that who you can be with makes it really special it;s what friendship and hunting are all about and I would bet he will return the favor.

Backwoods Boy, I have seen you take your fair share of ribbing here.  But you are a class act in my book.  Sure, really didn't have a choice when you didn't get a shot off, but the way you are enjoying the experience without regrets is very respectable.

Congrats to you and your buddy.  Like the others, I was stoked thinking this was your bull.  But, it most definitely could have been, which means your hard work and determination is paying off.

Best of luck with the rest of the year.  Something goods gonna happen to ya

You have perservered and it has paid off.  Inspiring.  Good job again even though you weren't lucky enough to be the trigger man, without your hard work this bull wouldn't have hit the dirt.   Besdt of luck in the late season.

WOW! Awesome job backwoods for letting your buddy shoot him. My wife had the same thing happen to her, I mean with the Muzzleloader not going off. Thats just muzzleloader hunting for ya. Its still fun being part of the hunt and helping out with such a tremedouse critter!

[backwoods_boy]

Thanks guys!  It definitely has been an experience and i am still hoping not to wake up.
I know my buddy pretty well and he has already told me that he will do what ever it takes to get me a big bull in this state or another.
