Congratulations on getting the job done. TJ

Congratulations on your buck. It sounded like it meant alot to you since you had him on video before. My deepest condolences to you in the loss of your father. I'm sure he was watching from above. Thank you for sharing and for being a great cwt member. I always look forward to your post. Good luck on all your hunts this year. TJ

You had a good year. Thanks for sharing. TJ

Nice and wide but not much mass so I'll say 355. TJ

After finding them sheds I bet Dillon is hooked for life. Great job and let Dillon know we are proud he found some good sheds. Thanks for sharing and getting Dillon out in th field. You're a good man Justin. TJ

A big gratulations to your wife. I would guess about 600lbs on the hoof. Thanks for sharing! TJ

Hope this all works out for the dogs. After reading your post Shevin I was thinking James might know someone to call. Thanks James! Let us know how it works out. People who mistreat dogs are as bad as thieves. TJ

Happy Birthday Bill and I hope you get to enjoy it doing something you like. Thanks for all your knowledge you share with us here on cwt. TJ

Nice rack by the way!!!!!!!!!!!Congratulations and nice shooting. TJ

My hats off to those who have taken the big ten with a bow and all the others who have taken anything with a bow. I really never gave it much thought about seeing how many critters I could kill with a bow because I was always more interested in the hunt and not racking up numbers but I got to thinking about the archery kills I've made and I've been blessed for sure. After seeing a few bears on my trail cams this year I got to thinking why I haven't bought a bear tag for years and tried to take one with a bow. I guess I have always been happy with the one I shot with a rifle yrs ago and haven't shown much interest since. Ok, now I don't want to sound like the numbers all of a sudden are more important than hunting, because they aren't, but I could end up with a possible 9 of the 10 if I tried but the numbers are starting to stack against me. My age, would I ever draw a sheep or antelope tag, my body wearing down, and not staying in shape has the odds, with each passing year, not on my side. Back to why I started this post in the first place. I'm sitting in my blind last month and miss my turkey by using the wrong pin. Wish I could remember how many times I've done that over the years. You would think after all these years I would have figured out how to control my excitement or buck fever as they say. Now I'm dozing off and as I open my eyes for the 50th time I have a black bear at 15yrds in front of me. This is why I bought a bear tag incase I ran in to one doing this archery season but not in the middle of my crack corn. This bear stayed for 1hr and 20min with so many thoughts running thru my head. I could easily shoot this bear. No one would ever know but me that I shot it over bait. I could say I now have an archery bear kill and my 8th of the big ten with a bow. I know hunters who wouldn't think twice and shoot. Could I ever live with myself and would the huntin gods ever forgive me. Well, I decide I'm going to shoot this bear because he just isn't wanting to leave. As I try my hardest to position myself, without making any noise, I finally succeed and take my best shot. Dam I wasn't expecting the flash to go off. The bear never seemed to mind so I shot several other pictures. These pictures will always mean more to me than just another number. TJ

Hope this day is a good one for ya Tommy and may you have as many as you've already had. Good luck on your hunts and give our best to Julie. Oh yea, one other thing, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

How much better could it have gotten to say the least. Congratulations to all 7 of you and thanks for sharing the pictures. Family time mixed in doesn't get any better than that. You and your wife are blessed for sure and your kids will soon be chasing bulls of their own. TJ

Happy Birthday Hector!!!!!! There's no doubt you will be celebrating with some fine food and a couple of cold ones. Peg and I wish you a great day. TJ

Thanks for all the kind words. I'm sure there are alot of you who would have done the same. TJ

Christina, your writeup was great even though you didn't tag out. As I read it I could feel the excitement you were experiencing along with the frustration and disapointment. My condolences for the loss of your exhusband's wife. I'm sure that was hard to explain to the kids. Thank you for sharing your hunt with us and let me say you have had a tough outcome that so many of us have experienced for ourselves. Archery hunting is a tough way to go and sooner or later it all happens to everyone loosing a critter and believe me it hurts and it's all you can think about at the time. I feel your pain but let me reassure you it is going to get better and you will succeed in your quest for a bull someday. I'm positive of it by the attitude you have for the sport. You did everything right and your ethics need to be applauded young lady. It's obvious your shot wasn't the best but we've all been there. It's people like yourself that make us hunters proud to say your one of the good guys. Congratulations to your husband and enjoy that elk meat. I have always enjoyed your posts and once again thank you for bringing us along on your hunt. TJ

It just doen't get any better than huntin with your dad. The memories are as precious as your bull. Thanks for sharing and congratulations. Great picture! TJ
