"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." ---Theodore Roosevelt 1910

Mega Thirds Bull





While spike hunting on the Fishlake Unit I captured this phoneskope image of this awesome broken bull. I couldn't believe just how long his thirds were. So I contacted my friend Russell Mason as I knew a family member of his had not filled hit limited entry permit yet. We made arrangements to meet that afternoon. We hiked into where I thought he bedded and we found his cows just 100 yards below us. We could hear him bugle in the background and I will always remember him walking out into view next to his bedded cows. He turned his head and bugled and I lost it. Once he turned broadside I cow called and BOOM went the report of the gun. Check out those 24" thirds!
