Wow Julian - lots of anticipation while reading your story....and finally relief when you made good on your second chance!!!

Congrats on a well earned bull!

It was great to read how Lil' D had a part in your adventure......Jeff will be beside himself when he sees that photo of his Lil' D knife and your elk!!!  Karma for sure!!!!

You did well and thanks for sharing with us....now you'll be counting the days until you're back in Wyoming chasing them again!

Way to go JT!  

What a great story, you really hit the meaning of why we do what we do.  Knowing and hunting with you in the past; If it could be done, you could make it happen.

Look forward to picking your brain over lunch sometime soon.

Well Done.

Way to go Julian.
The old order is passing. Swiftly receding into memory are the days of strong, earnest men who followed an atavistic yearning to pit their skills against wild animals.
