Hello friends,
My best friend and I just completed his lifetime dream of a moose hunt in Northern Idaho. It was such a treat for me to be able to accompany him on this hunt, after 30 years of applying he was finally drawn and harvested a terrific bull. Conditions were tough but our resilience never faltered and after nine days of patience and perseverance he took this bull! Congrats to you my friend on a wonderful trophy and a memory i will never forget!!

Awesome!! I can't imagine applying for 30 years and 29 of them being unsuccessful.

Way to perservere. That bulls antlers are basically mirror images of each. Congrats!

Pack out was easy as it turned out, bull ran downhill and collapsed 30 yards from the road below. My winch on the Honda Pioneer 500 and some fancy footwork and had him on the road. We had a small trailer pulled behind the Honda and believe it or not we used a com-along and loaded him whole in that little trailer!! Cowboy will power and ingenuity at its finest, LOL.
