Congrats on filling the tag, The first bull is the toughest!

Since they don't have the early bull any weapon hunts every year there wasn't a hunt the previous year so they just put in ** instead of going back to the last year that they did have the early any weapon hunt.

Had a good half marathon last Saturday at the Yellowstone half. My goal was 1:45 and I made it in 1:43:43 so I was cutting it close. I was surprised when it was all done I ended up coming in 30th overall with around 2000 runners and got 3rd in my age class. Took the rest of the week off I need to get back after it this week.

Nice pics, you must have some good zoom or some serious stalking skills

Went for a run last night on my lunch (dinner) break at work and saw a couple dozen deer and 3 bulls. I had 2 of the bulls skylined at about 50 yards. Fading light and just my phone to take a pic with didn't make a very clear picture but it was fun to see some bulls. I got in about 20 miles and 4000 ft elevation in this week.

Here are some Manti bulls

31 miles for me this week with a really good Hike/Run on Wednesday 15miles 4000 ft elevation change and right at 3 hours. Nice Job on the Half Flatlander!

Dude, this is the internet!!! you can measure yer animals anyway you want and post whatever score you want to... did I ever tell you about my 500" spike bull.... so what if I took 150 mass measurements!

Maybe I missed it in all the great ideas in this post but couldn't she just go before the judge and ask that the OOP be lifted??? Problem solved, no issues if they happen to meet in the woods. Honestly I think they both should have to turn in their tags... obviously hunting unit 6A wasn't all that important to either of them otherwise one of them would have demanded custody of the unit in the divorce or at least worked out some sort of custody arrangement

Very nice... great bull. I say put it high in the room (where the wife wants it) for now and slowly move it down a few inches every month when the wife it out of the house, until you have it where you want it. :-)

Idaho Buck... 75ish" buck. Since it was my first I wanted to make sure I had some room to find a bigger one sometime

Very cool!

7 runs 34.6 miles 2488 vertical feet 4 hrs 37 min Set PR for my 5K that I ran on Saturday with 6:55 average mile Unfortunately I ate too many cookies to lose any weight!

Where is your half? Doing the Yellowstone Half Marathon June 13th. The course doesn't look too bad with just one 200+ ft climb in mile 6, otherwise pretty flat. It should be really scenic, just a few miles of pavement running and the rest on dirt roads and trails in the woods. I hope I don't need my bear spray!!!

I've gone away from a face mask and paint as well and haven't had bad results yet. I do like to wear a camo ball cap pulled down and also typically grow out a full beard to cover some of my ugly mug as well.

Last weeks stats... 26.3 mi 4hr 29 m 5,332 vert ft did a lot of trail running up the mountain so splits were pretty slow I feel like I'm ready for my half but have another month to train. I'm shooting for 1 hr 45 min. I have a 5k this weekend, I'll go for a PR of less than 22:17

I'd say that bull is going to be a beast. That is some great growth for this early!

There's no rating system for the quality of your posts, just the quantity. It's like fishing, just keep throwing crap out there & see what happens?! Good advice, thanks!

Great call, I've got to get my next mount as a ceiling mount..... running out of space on the wall and the wife won't let me have another room

Great mount, someday I hope to get me a nice cat!

I hear you there, I don't run 1 mile often, on that occasion I was running with some Boy Scouts working on a fitness merit badge. Had to give it all I had to get that time.... well I did run 4 miles earlier in the day so maybe I could have shaved a few seconds off there but not much more. 6 min mile would be great. Last week's stats I did 31.5 miles with 3284 ft of elevation,

I like to stick to a fixed blade. Been shooting the Muzzy 3 blades for years now and haven't ever seen a reason to switch to a more expensive one.

I am not a runner but decided to start running to stay in shape for hunting. I also decided to train and do a Half Marathon. I'm actually enjoying running a little bit, which I thought I would never like. My favorite is trail running. I loaded the App Strava in February to track my stats and it has helped me to stay motivated.

Man, I can't wait to reach premier status so I can get my extra bonus point in the draw!!! I've got a long way to go.

Good luck on the hunt and make it a memorable one, Hopefully you can reach your goal and shoot an awesome bull, don't get too caught up on score and shoot one that gets you excited, don't let the tape measure tell you it's too small!
