Great Bull Mike Congratulations

[Herdbull]

Thanks a lot everyone. The meat on this early season pre-rut bull was excellent. Bart needed to put meat in his freezer, but chose longbows and recurves to do so. Mike

Such a great tribute.  Thanks for sharing.

Congrats Mike! Nice bull!

Interesting what you did with the Cabela Tundra boots.  I bought them but sent them back due to #1 noise and #2 poor quality control (took buying 3 sets to get 1 set that fit properly).  If one could tame the noise and get a well made and fitting set they would be a great option! I am looking into the Stealth Wrap from Stealth Outdoors.

Congrats on a legendary hunt and an awesome animal. The best way to honor a lost friend.

Thanks Mike, appreciate it. Wonderful way to honor a great bowhunter and a fallen friend. What a trophy as well!    

[IndianaBowman]

Way to go Mike!  Bart would be proud!

Congrats Mike, Thanks for sharing!

Congrats on a great tribute hunt, after reading your posts, magazine articles and your Book, its easy to see that where alot of people simply talk about this kind of adventure hunt, you actually go the extra mile and do it on your own terms. You are a inspiration to me,  thanks,...Very well done

[DaveT1963]

Very moving tribute - well done.

Mike, proud for you my friend! Beautiful story telling and photos. It is an inspiring hunt. I leave for BC to hunt moose in 3 weeks. I can only hope I get to experience half of what you did

Awesome Mike great story and photos.

[Chuck Janssen]

Congratulations Mike, What a great hunt. Plus a tribute to your freind. I miss that place. I did not draw this year, but know the area well. I have freinds there now. Thank you far sharing and letting us be a part of it.
Take care.

Thanks for sharing this. I enjoyed every bit of it.
I thought all the photos were great, but the last photo of the sunset resonated deeply with me.

I was blessed to be introduced to trad archery by my late dad. In 1964 or '65 he and my mom bought me my first hunting bow for my birthday.

That photo reminds me of some of my last hunts walking back to my truck thinking about the times I shared with my Dad.

I've been very fortunate to  pass it on to my son, and now some of my grandsons.  

A great tribute.

Mike, great story and great hunt.  You have inspired a bunch of people to make each hunt, regardless of where they are, into a solo adventure.  Congrats!

I keep coming back here to read again... so impressed! I think many of us as life progresses have to move on without brothers be they of blood or kindred spirits of the woods and water... time spent with an other person that shares an immense passion and appreciation with you creates a strong love! I like to think of my brother, uncle, and best friend as along on my hunts. If I had gone first and there was any way... that's how I would be with them. I have to say...this thread tugs at my heart a little.

Really neet story Mike! Congrats!
