Default Bull Moose - 21yrs in the making

October 27th, 2018 is a day I will never forget. This was my fourth time drawing a bull moose tag but my first time actually filling one. Was starting to think it was never going to happen.
Great time afield with a great friend.

No wonder it took four tags, that bull has got the rack of four bulls! That’s a longer wait than I’ve been alive, I’m glad it all worked out!

Very nice Number 1. I'd say it was worth the wait.

If you wait 21 years to fold the tag, that’s the bull to do it on! Big congrats, well done!!

Congrats!
Going 0 for 3 and then getting a bull like that makes up for it in spades.
