Thanks my friend. For me there's just nothing like having one of those big horny bulls all riled up and ornery while he's in longbow range.Well done Kevin!
It's not easy to fully describe the thrill of calling an adult bull in close but you did well.
The 45-70 is a great piece of gear for bow hunters especially but we've taken to bringing a long range rifle also because of the proliferation of wolves.
Coming from a real author....quite a compliment. Not sure I deserve that, but much thanks.freakin legendary! Better than any book I ever read...
Hey Kevin! Somehow I had not seen your story until today. As others have said - as always a great story very well told. Great job my friend.
Terry and I had to cut our hunt short also because of the same weather forecast this year. Over two feet of snow was predicted for our AO so it was time to retreat.
Awesome bull with fantastic fronts and character! A few years ago we got one with gnarly character and drop tines. He had two badly broken ribs that had only partially and poorly healed from a fight the prior year. By any chance did your character bull have any old injuries that you noticed while butchering?
I shot a 60" bull in mid-season that had an obvious velvet lined bullet hole in one antler. He was many miles from humans except for John and Kevin and they are bow hunters. WTH?
