Thanks to these “Bowsiters” and most of all great friends, for giving up a week of their life to join me on a hunt of a lifetime! All 3 got to watch the entire 2 hour stalk. What an awesome memory. Shot him at 15 yards, 50 1/2 wide and crazy crab claw fronts.

Best hunt I've been on without a tag in my pocket!. I am sure Dj will fill in some blanks once he gets caught up.
Thanks for having us along.

Thanks guys, truly an amazing hunt that was a team effort. Rick and my brother shot video from about 500 yards away and Randy got some footage behind me on his iPhone. I’m going to edit the two in the next couple of weeks and put the link here to view.

Dj,
Was thinking this morning that Danny Moore would have come along on this hunt if he was still with us. Maybe he helped out and we just don't know it.

Great job DJ! That is an awesome bull.
Now I understand why we never saw any birds on our turkey hunt. You were building up your quotient of Good Luck for this accomplishment! And I should add, you used it wisely...!

Guys I appreciate the congrats it was truly the best hunt of my life. Having my brother and two great friends dedicate a week of their lives to be a part of this OIL hunt was very humbling. We came away feeling like 4 brothers!
Pete- looking forward to seeing you again real soon, weather it’s here chasing turkeys or back to AK for whatever.
It’s going to take a few weeks to get the video done but I’ll be sure to let everyone know when it’s ready.
