Redemption Bull

[Longrifle]

A quest that began 10 years ago, that brought tears and heartache more than once, culminated in the tagging of my first bull last Thursday. It's no monster, but a solid bull, and that's all I've ever wanted.

Congratulations! I know the pain. Still working on my first after shooting a giant in the shoulder blade and losing the tracks after 2 miles.

Wow that's some tough luck there, too. Hopefully it'll turn around for you soon.

Persistence kills. Congrats on a beautiful bull elk. You’ll appreciate every bite of that animal that’s for sure!

Congrats, that’s a bull most would love to get. Rewarding after such effort I’m sure, enjoy it.

I did the same thing last year, but with archery, so the bull was long gone and probably fine. It's such a bummer, but that's part of hunting...I love Steve Rinella's idea about how it's ok to think like a pessimist but you always have to act like an optimist. Next time...always next time
