That one had me on the edge of my seat for a bit. What a great opportunity to take an animal like that. Nice shooting.

I know several of you would like to know the who, what, were, and when of this hunt. The fact is it is not that kind of hunt. I only got invited on this hunt because I know a guy who knows a guy, and that guy knew how much I wanted to do a bison hunt like this. At this point it is a very limited hunt and I was quite lucky to get in on it. However, the word is it MAY become available in the next 3-5 years. IF that happens I will be more than happy to help in any way possible to make this experience accessible to any of you that are interested.
Yea Mike, this is the next generation of that prototype you and Tom shot. It only has a couple of minor changes.
Thanks all, for the encouragement. It took me 4.5 hours to type out this story.

Excellent hunt & story! Maybe one day; but, bison are as close to impossible as imaginable. Most likely I'll just hunt through others. Thanks for the outrageous ride Zip!
