Awesome.  You guys are going to not have to buy any meat from the store this year.  Great work on the elk, and training the wife.  That is actually more impressive.

Hey Dave, that stink isnt the stink of an old bull, an old bull smells more like a cow pasture in a way, or should I say more like a bull that has been pissing on himself for years  :chuckle: . That was a totally different stink.  ;) Maybee it was the water  :chuckle:

You're a machine this year.  Animals should fear the longtat.   Steaks are on at longtats, bring the beer.  That last picture(Mrs and the baby packin on the first page) is just about one of the coolest I have ever seen.  Get it into the POM and I will vote for it.

I shot one that had a rancid sweet smell to the meat.  He had been shot in the ass before and I wondered if it was his body fighting it.   It tasted like crap.  Ate a lot of tacos and fajitas.

I was brush shooting last night, and had my arrow skip off into lala land.  Took me 20 minutes to find, but I wasn't going to leave a 25 dollar broadhead and a 15 dollar arrow behind.   :yike:

Very cool. That first pic doubles the bull's size. Well done. I'm jealous.

Nice bull, great story!  That pic of Miranda with baby on front is priceless.  What a hunting wife! My wife couldn't be more supportive also.  Lot's of guys jealous of wives like we have!

Dave,

Just got done reading this, sounds like you have had an awesome year, congrats to you. Like already said, your bull is awesome, your awesome, but the best picture you got is the one with the wife and the lil one.

It's awesome when the entire family is involved. And you need to get that bull mounted that was your babies first assist on a bull, so make the memories last.

Joe
