Congrats! My birthday then too. I had to wait a few days for my Bull tho. Enjoy, best venison there is IMHO.
It's really simple. Just don't take those borderline shots. Tomorrow is another day.

Hey, Gun, I heard you got to guide a little for Ryk that week. I know Dan sure wanted to meet you in person since you and he had talked. I'm glad you got some meat on the ground!

Here's some more pics from the adventure

That place was crawling with coyotes and they weren't afraid of anything. This one came right up to the stand we were in.
   

Eric and I saw this moose out in a field about 200 yards away as we were driving to Eric's house. Eric jumped out and proceeded to call this moose in to within 40 yards. It was incredible! After the first cow call, this bull came running like you had just whistled for your dog. He would have came closer had I not moved to get better video.
   

There were lots of ruffed grouse too. They call them chickens. "Lots of chickens in the bush, aye?"
       

This is my hunting buddy, Dan Novotny. He hunted hard the entire time but didn't even see a moose. The full moon at night certainly didn't help the situation.
   

I sent this photo to my wife and told her we were making moose head soup. She actually believed me! With us being together for over 30 years, you think she would have known better.

Sweet! congratulations Darren. Glad you all had a good hunt. Awful fat and healthy looking coyote, It'd be hard to let a yote that pretty live. He'd make a beautiful quiver....BeauJ

Fantastic!  Congratulations!!!
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.
