Best hunt of my 35 years of hunting. I've killed higher scoring bulls, but worked harder and enjoyed this one more than any other. I'll do a write up at some point, but for now what you need to know is that I call him my "Funky Huffing Bull." I heard him huffing for at least two minutes before he pushed his cows into my 30 yard window. Came down from a steep oak brush hillside bugling, huffing, busting brush and rolling rocks with five cows. Tried to mount one right in front of me and then I had to wait for another cow to get out of my way before releasing my arrow.
Definitely a mature bull in spite of his 4 X 4 status. Hide on his neck was as thick as the hide on my 340.

Congrats. Very cool this is your favorite hunt but not the biggest. As many of us get older the hunt objectives have change. It’s a privilege to just be in the woods and observe nature do what it does.

Story coming guys, but it may be a bit. It's a long one over multiple years and I just got the meat cut up and in the freezer yesterday. Still have lots of loose stuff that needs to go in their proper boxes and of course I'm back in the office with two weeks worth of backlog. I promise some very entertaining reading. It has been quite a journey in this unit. :)
