She dropped her 42" bull at 105 yards with a 300 WSM. It was the 4th and largest Bull we had called in during the opening day of the season. This Bull came very Hot, Grunting and thrashing everything in his path all the while another Bull was approaching us from up hill and behind.
All though she swore "I'm gonna hold out for a 50" we both new we have a very limited time to hunt, and a few more inches of antler would add very little if anything to this amazing adventure.
With that in mind, once this Bull appeared from the tree line, her switch flipped and she whispered " I want this Bull" I replied "It's your tag and your Hunt, take him if you want him". She wasted no time in climbing into her rifle and steadied for the shot. Once I had the camera rolling, I gave her the OK "Shoot" no sooner than I said the word and BOOM!! From that moment on I experienced something very different hunting with my wife that I have never experienced with my buddies. Typically you shoot, wait and retrieve, then you HI-Five and shake hands over your kill.
Not with my wife "First we Shoot, Then we Dance" Only after the dancing is over do we go find the Bull. :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL:
The greatest part of the venture aside from sharing this OIL experience with my wife (ON OUR HONEYMOON) "Her Choice" was being able to catch all the action on GOPRO video.
It took one full day of packing on the horses to get it back to camp and three days of cutting and wrapping to get the meat in the freezer and the head off to the taxi.
Now we're off to fill her 2nd Deer Tag and then to fill her Palouse Buck tag.
A husbands work is never done.

That's real good! Appreciate the story . Me and my wife can relate to that quite well! :tup: Not to jack the thread but we got engaged over a dead bear I had shot enroute to a Mtn. top where I had planed the proposal. And from there on out seems the plan always changes!
