Awesome John!!! Thanks for taking us along for the ride! I can see you with the scapulas on either side of your head walking right in... Puts a smile on my face, especially since he didn't stomp you two into a grease spot and especially since none of the "girls" got to fresh!
Congrats to you Steve, my wife is a life long Steelers fan too.

What a great bull, and a great story to go with him! I can't imagine a more exicting hunt, although I'm not sure I envy you on the packing job!
Congratulations to you both.

Did you use a white knife on that one, John? Congratulations, a moose is one of my "wish I could" animals for sure.
That's a great photo, by the way... what a set of hay rakes on that joker!

Hey Ray,
Since returning home yesterday evening I haven't had a chance to send you a note. But yes, I did use the beautiful knife you made for me with the "white" scales on this moose. It served me quite well and as I recall I only had to touch it up three times through the whole thing. Thanks for a super-quality knife!

Congratulations all around - a real team effort! Way to be aggressive when necessary!
