Come on Rasbo give a guy a break. 

I talked to them at 8pm and they were just going through Spokan. I'm sure they didn't get home til after 2 am.  He probably isn't even thinking about getting up yet.

Home at last what a trip.Then got sat down and my boy called saying our 60 foot crab boat was sinking he had 100 pots on it and tossed them over and started pumping and it slowly started coming up the whole stern was under water. The problem was one of the crew was in the lazerette a 3 foot round hole in the deck with hatch cover you use to get down into the boats steering system and had;nt lathed it tite and with the rough ocean and pots on deck water spilled into it making the stern go under. Then off to Michell with the head and hide to find the cape was no good they had started to shed so she is trying to find a cape for us. After taking a nap I will finish the story but it was big.

BIG Bison Bull!

Isn't that sort of redundant.   Big Bison Bull.   

Looking forward to the story!

We drove over to St Ignatious to meet up with Steve the buffalo guide for Dale and then off to the ranch. Before the story I would like to thank Dale at Bearpaw outfitters for helping us and for going that extra mile to make sure his hunters enjoy his hunts. Dale set us up the year before and we were to shoot a big bull somewhere between us not knowing how big is big we shot a meat bull it looked big to us but it was;nt what we had  payed for. Dale did;nt feel that was right so offered us to go on another hunt for a big bull at no charge and we could keep the head and hide and half the meat it was an unreal offer and just showed us again what Dale and Bearpaw outfitters all about. My boy was toshoot one with his bow and the guide told us they had about 150 shot with a bow and he was;nt to keen on sticks so wanted us to have a rifle for back up. We worked around the herd of about i50 with 7 big bulls in until we could get lined up on the one we wanted. When the bull got clear my boy shot at 40 yards and made a perfect double lung shot and the bull lowered himseld to the ground and we asked should we shoot it again and he said he is down but you can if you want to and the second arrow hit less than 1 inch from the first and he was done. They said it was the first time they had ever seen one go down like that . I have some pictures I will post and both arrows went through to stick out the other side he was shooting a matthews set at 70 pounds with 340 grain arrows and 100 grain 3 blade muzzeys.

No Tony things were okay just a wake up call to make sure and check everything. Having trouble posting pictures for some reason but Michelle did a rough score on it and it scored 106 thats 6 inches over pope and young not that it means anmore than this one was big they measured it from tip of nose to end of legs and it was 14 feet long.

[Hunterman]

Great news on the boat 

14 feet long on that bull?? He's a foot shorter than the Lady Becky
