Brad,  Great story I really enjoyed it. In your earlier post you said the morning hunt when you did not shoot was about as exciting as the evening hunt when you made the kill .Most hunters should be able to relate to that!
I have a bighorn bow I bought when Fred Asbell owned the company. There has been a lot of game killed by Bighorns not the fastest bow but stable and reliable. Again congratulations.  P.S. If 30 years from know  you look like your dad and are still running around the mountains you will be one happy hunter. A old guys observation LOL  :)

Wow.... That is a whopper bull!   Congrats, I KNOW how hard those big guys are to anchor.  Huge accomplishment.   I know this rubs some wrong, but did you score him?  320-330 ish?

Very very nice.  I used to hunt in the mountains south of Glenrock and ran into a few nice bulls during those years.

You live in a beautiful state and I'm happy you got a great bull the 'hard way'!
