Awesome John!!! Thanks for taking us along for the ride!  I can see you with the scapulas on either side of your head walking right in...  Puts a smile on my face, especially since he didn't stomp you two into a grease spot and especially since none of the "girls" got to fresh!  ;)

Congrats to you Steve, my wife is a life long Steelers fan too.

What a great bull, and a great story to go with him!  I can't imagine a more exicting hunt, although I'm not sure I envy you on the packing job!  
Congratulations to you both.

Did you use a white knife on that one, John? Congratulations, a moose is one of my "wish I could" animals for sure.

That's a great photo, by the way... what a set of hay rakes on that joker!  :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:

Hey Ray,

Since returning home yesterday evening I haven't had a chance to send you a note.  But yes, I did use the beautiful knife you made for me with the "white" scales on this moose.  It served me quite well and as I recall I only had to touch it up three times through the whole thing.  Thanks for a super-quality knife!

Thanks for sharin' that INCREDIBLE stalk and shoot sequence with us!

THAT IS AWESOME! (not too mention all of the hard work as well...)

Congratulations all around - a real team effort!  Way to be aggressive when necessary!
