Heading to WY unit 124!

Just curious. What do you do for a living that allows you that much freedom?

 

[wapitibob]

Way to get it done. Not many would have stuck it out. Congrats

 

[Next Ridge]

Good story all season, congrats.

 

[BRTreedogs]

Early on I thought you were going to give up. Glad you pushed through some of the doubts that certainly seemed to he creeping into your head. Big congrats!!

What an awesome hunt! Thanks for taking the time to keep all of us regular guys like yourself updated. I'm a big fan of anyone who kills elk in non-designer, matching camo.

I've been a real estate broker for 20 years. In 2007 I started offering online training for real estate agents. Now I can schedule my work around my life and the activities that I am passionate about.

Thank you. I considered giving up and going home a few times a week. I knew the regret of giving up would stay with me for the rest of my life. I just kept telling myself that "today is the day". It finally happened.

Congrats on a nice bull and for sticking with it!! Hard work and persistence paid off!
Just curious you forgot to put how much you spent on commissioner’s tickets?

I purchased 1 ticket for $100. I've bought a lot of raffle tickets, coupon books, trash bags, cookie dough etc. My wife says I'm on the "sucker list". This is the first raffle I've ever won. I did have to pay approx $700 to WYFG for the tag after winning the raffle.

I made it home in time to have dinner with my wife. Both kids stopped by and brought all the grand kids to see the bull. I'm planning on unpacking and repacking tomorrow and then heading to Happyjack AZ for my 6a rifle hunt. I'll miss the first day of hunting but still have 6 days to get it done. Here are a few more pics of my bull. Clay Evens measured him for me and he and his cousin Rhett caped him out for me in Baggs. I'm looking for a good taxidermist in AZ if anyone has a recommendation.

 

[fmyth]

Clay measured him at 364 3/8.

Here's a picture taken back in September of the bull I killed. A local hunter had been after him all season.

Wow! Haven't checked back in this thread in a about a week and it looks like a lot happened

Congrats to you - that is just the most awesome bull and certainly worthy of the time you put in to take him. Heck of an adventure - thanks for taking us along!

 

[NEWHunter]

Congrats. Well done and well earned. Hunt of a lifetime right there.

Amazing story and Great job! Congrats

 

[willy]

Congrats. Thank you for sharing. Your story will stay in the back of my head so if/when I start to question sticking to the hunt I can push that thought right out.
