Awesome write-up Dan.
You've got a real peach of a wife as well, you lucky dog!

With regards to gun control in this country, everyone should be asking themselves one question:
What is it that this government feels they need to do, but can't do, unless the citizens of this nation are first disarmed?
(I seriously doubt you can come up with any plausible answers that you will like...)

Dan Great Hunt and a Nice Bull. Do not let anyone tell you Different. It is not the size of what we are after but the Hunt in itself whether you bag something or not. Many have forgotten that or never knew it to start with.
Many here Dream of such a hunt that you had. And the chance to take including myself.
If one sits in thundering quiet the soul dies slow instead of yell to the heavens for all to hear and behold the righteous and upstanding and ones of which should be held with tales of woe. By C.A.S. <--- Thats Me lol.
The best thing about getting your bull, you can concentrate in the future on just shooting cows!
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

Nice work Dan. Could not have been killed by a nicer guy.
Dan where would we be without wifes to help us??? And Without all your hard efforts in pre-hunting, luck would have been all that you could have counted on.
Great story!

Great write up Dan, thanks for taking us along.
He[[, that story got my eyes wider and red corpuscles tingling.
Dan:
great story and a nice bull
I too know the heartbreak of walking into your area and finding a truck there...
but sounds like it worked out great for you anyways.
I have a friend who uses the same round. He would not hesitate to take a Bull Moose at 300yds with those 140gr Partitions. He had a complete passthrough on a "quartering to" bull at 250yds. Broke the shoulder going in, took the heart out, then broke a rib on exit. I'd say you have a capable round!
Definitely a Dream Come True through hard work, perseverance, preparation,and skill! You are doubly blessed with the devotion of a Great Woman! Doesn't get much better than that.
Thank you for sharing. Still hoping to draw a Bull Elk Tag here in KY someday, no luck yet after ten years of trying.
Got-R-Did.
