Back From WY,Tagged Punched!
« on: October 04, 2011, 10:08:55 AM »
   Didn't know how the season would progress for me this season after having major back surgery and being fused in my lower back at the end of June. Well two months later, wearing my ridiculously priced back brace, twenty days in the Wyoming back country, lost 15lbs., passed on nine bull's with definite good shots from nine to thirty five yards and holding out for the mid three hundred class bull, close encounters of bulls of your dreams, with the desire to keep pushing on to the last day and last three hours I finally punched my tag. Not the bull I was after but after 20 days it would have to do and still happy with the whole season of constant bugling and chasing of the September ghost's! :)

You hunted Wyoming backcountry for 20 days?  My jealousy meter is pegged...


Congratulations on a fine bull and way to put in the effort.
