Very nice. Congrats on your buck. Personally non typically are awesome. Great write up

Great job young man. Gotta love the youngsters getting bulls. Huge congrats on your bull. Kids always shoot for the moon, believe me we just finished a hunt with our boys and went two for two in the same canyon 3 minutes apart. Congrats again

Well finally got it done yesterday morning. First elk with a bow. Hunt started off on the 12th for myself and my buddy tim and had a another buddy dave to help us out with glassing and communication. We knew this would be an extremely hard hunt to begin with but i'm always up for the challenge. First day saw about 8 bulls in which tim and i both bailed off a huge rim to go in after them. My bull disappeared and tim was on his elk. Had one coming across the ridge on my way back, and that turned into three nice 6x's scream down the hill at me. Got on the radio to dave but he was helping tim on his stalk. Bulls came within 40 yds i drew back and didn't have a lane, shifted a foot or so and the wind shifted and they were gone. Tim ended up missing on his so we met back up mid hill and the dreaded hike back out of the canyon. So the next few days brought several bulls but not for archery. Rifle no problem. And the weather moved in with cold and very windy conditions. We hunted till weds the 19th in the am and then tim had to tend to family matters at home. My wife shot up on monday night and i hunted with her for the next few days till we left on weds. I missed her and the kids so i decided to head back down the hill weds night. I thought i was done for the rest of the hunt but she talked me into going back up. So i headed back up on friday afternoon and her and the kids followed up that night. We discussed a game plan and i took her advice and went to her spot. After all this woman spends a ton of time in the field every year. So i listened to my wife and went on. Granted right in every way, she told me the night before you will get your bull tomorrow. So i went and sat my spot and i knew they moved form 730 till 8. About 755 i was ready to move and asked the good lord just please give me some sign. Sure as that i hear a branch break to my left. Im up a ridge and draw back i hear breathing and see antlers pop around the corner and about peed my pants. didnt have a chance to range but i had ranged a spot at 40 and he was way closer than that. Set my 30 pin on bottom of his stomach and let it fly. Heard and saw the smack, i thought dang i hit him high. He doesn't run. Walks off about 10 yds, stopped and started to do the death wobble takes two more steps hits the tree flips over on his back antlers down and all 4s in the air. Heard the moan and he was dead. From the time i shot it was no more than a minute and half and he was dead. I lucked out. I immediately called my wife, she was on the other side of the unit shed hunting of course and she was on her way. When everyone finally got to him i saw i hit him almost perfect for being at a slight incline. Missed the shoulder blade and right into the heart. Found the broke shaft and the broad head when i finished taking off the shoulder.This is a bull of a lifetime. I cannot thank and praise my wife enough. I love this woman more than life itself and just love being in the field with her. Just for putting up with my addiction and for being my best friend and being excited about me getting my first archery bull. You are the best holly. Pics dont do this bull justice but does give it some insight. He ended up being a 6x7, broke g2 on right side. has tons of character with his missing g3 wrapped under his ear. This bull carried so much mass is was ridiculous. Took him to dale at wild heritage and he is doing our mount and scored him for us. He ended up being a non-typical scoring 345 2/8. Truly a bull of a lifetime. Enjoy everyone, i think I'm still in shock

Yeh ended up with 60 inches of total mass.

This bull is awesome. Pics don't do justice. And the freaking stalk was one I know many people would not attempt. Awesome job Jason and it was a pleasure to help pack out and marry your sister. Lol

Great story. And an awesome bull. Huge congrats on a very great looking late season bull.

What an amazing buck. Huge congrats

Thank you everyone for the kind words. I'm still in shock that it happened. At times you start to question yourself and a hunter

Yes severe. Etodolac is the only thing that helped me. I blew out L4 5 and S1. Had surgery but still deal with it everyday. That med and a stim machine is what keeps me hunting

Big Happy Birthday to an awesome guy. Your one of the best hunters and friend a person can have. And such an awesome dad. Hope your day is filled with so much joy. God bless you Tim.

God works in mysterious ways. When you live life by morals and ethics and values you are rewarded. It was a trophy for you reguardless. I commend you on sticking to your morals and paying those guys back. There aren't many men that would do that. That is just awesome. On your buck, heck yeh congrats on getting it done after so long. Great story. God bless you on your continued success in life and in the field.

we still have 3 days left we can fill that tag if you want and go 3 for 3

What a great job getting two bucks on any tags. Congrats to you and your son, and that must be awesome to hunt with you boy. What a special few days.

Sweet bull. Huge congrats on a late archery bull. Tough hunt.

They are doing my mine also same way. Saw yours when I dropped my bull off tonite and loved it. Great lope. They are the best in my opinion

1 hour ago I had to give my credit card number to Swarovski to fix my binoculars I really wish I never would have sold my vortex razors your not helping While in wyoming i used a pair of channel locks to try and fix my eye cup. needless to say i jacked them up. Sent them in they say 8 weeks and we will call if there is a charge. 10 days later, no charge two new diopters and new cups free of charge.
