Great storytelling and nice bull. I'd bet any good hunting publication would print that story as is.

It just doesn't get any better than that!  Congratulations on an awesome hunt!  And thanks for taking the time to share it all with us.  You do a lot more than ramble with your words.  You stir feelings and paint pictures.

Man,  That was well put.  

I will admit that I sometimes feel guys from the east and south don't GET western hunting, (especially run and gun elk hunting).  Its hard to put it into words.  

You did a great job of just that.  Congrats on the whole thing!

PS  Keep bugling...      its about all we do, and we only hunt public land.  Guys who don't think it works aren't doing it right, or enough of it!

[Terry Green]

Congrats again...and thanks for sharing more!!!

Great Stuff!

Loved the way you told this story.  You got me all jazzed up to get back up there tomorrow.  

loved this phrase; "At least I saw something. Maybe she's running to her preferred lover. I'm gonna follow. Up up up. Call call call. Nothing nothing nothing. That prime morning hunt time window is coming down, almost closed. God must be mad at me. "Are you kidding me you whiney ba$tard? (That's me lecturing myself) You got life by the conjones, great wife and kids, health, friends. You live in the greatest country on earth. YOU'RE IN WYOMING HUNTING ELK!!!" whew, I'm better now. Seems like when the body is getting run down, the mind follows."

I was at that place on saturday, all over the map.  Passed up two smaller bulls, blew a very close and great chance on a big one, was in buglin bulls most of the day.  But, I saw one other hunter, had a crossbow, and it about ruined my brain.

So grateful for you relating all this.  and Congratulations!

Very cool.  WELL DONE!

[kbetts]

Congratulations, not only on the beautiful bull, but also for absorbing and appreciating the whole experience. And to be able to put your experiences and emotions into print for the rest of us shows a true talent. Thank you. You earned that bull.
