Im not afraid to eat this tag or put it on a cow. No offense but after hunting on my own since I was a little tike and seeing several big bulls downed in MT, NM, and ID where I guided for over 15 years I would really like to call something 370+ my own for once. I will not pull the trigger on anything grossing under 350 and will be holding out for 370 till the last day I hunt there. Mark my word on that. I havent pulled the trigger or launched an arrow at a muley buck for 10 years now, looking for 200+ gross and I hunt like a nut each fall looking for one. Never bothers me a bit to see the sun set on the last day on a 175 deer. Our freezer is always full of whitey does and other game my daughters and wife shoot.
Alot of people say Im all BS, but that Im not. I guess I set my standards unrealistically because I love to hunt and I love the challenge. Finding a 370 bull, even in that area WILL be a challenge.
A "TROPHY" is in they eye of the beholder. A forkhorn mule deer or a cow elk is EVERY BIT AS MUCH OF A TROPHY as the bull I am looking for, and sometimes more, when its a kids first animal, or grampas last elk, or anything in between.
Anyway, with that said, I appreciate your congratulations, and IF I harvest a bull, it will be the one I have hunted for my whole life.
life IS good
