Joe

Just catching up on this thread. Congratulations!!

I went to school with Nate. He seemed to get most the answers right on exams too. I guess he knows his guides about as well as his pharmaceutics.

How in the world did I miss the Finale? That's incredible. A few years ago I got an up close look at some bison on Camp Pendleton; beautiful animal.

Don't know how I missed it but what a hunt of a lifetime! CONGRATS ON A JOB WELLDONE!!

A good one for sure! Curious if you ever got any info back from Utah on the collar Joe?

Whip · March 25, 2014, 10:08:00 AM

Wow - cool to see this thread back up. It sure brings back one of the best memories of my life.

Aaron, no, I never did get any info back on the collar although I did email requesting it a couple of times. I do think she was a pretty old girl though. Generally bison meat is thought to be excellent, but this one gave my teeth a workout. The back straps were fine, but I tried everything I could think of to make tender steaks without much success. Roasts in a slow cooker all day were good, but the majority of the meat was either canned or ground into burger, which was excellent.

I'm looking at the euro mount of her right now.

I also had the hide tanned with the hair on and that covers the back of a love seat in our living room. Unique trophy of a lifetime for sure!

I like that Skull. I bet she would almost make the book if you had her scored.

awbowman · March 25, 2014, 06:04:00 PM

Nice Joe, I enjoyed reading the story again

SKITCH · March 25, 2014, 06:09:00 PM
