Congratulations to the entire family!  Personally I think it is even more cool that your Dad and Mom didn't find it earlier.  Yes, I'm sure it made for some anxious hours, but to be able to share the recovery with the two of you makes it all the more special.  I think I heard the celebration all the way back here in Wisconsin!

What a great story and a fantastic bull. Good luck on the next one!

Joe, that really is a fact. I'm glad that they didn't find it until we got there. To be together made the whole experience what it was. In the back of my mind I never had any doubt that we would find it. It only took my brother three minutes.

My Dad was sure on an emotional roller coaster that day. Before we found it he said that at least he knew what the feeling was like to kill a big bull...for 30 minutes.

I had to go back and read the entire story a second time just so I could experience the goose bumps all over again.  What a thrill that had to be!!!!
