I've read thru post #53, but this last picture captured my attention early! If I'm correct, that truck is on a trailer, so maybe the transmission 'gave way' before you got home...I've taken weeks to decide to write this up.
The thing I want to achieve by sharing this story is to promote appreciation for this animal, and hopefully spur interest in allowing free-ranging herds to return to more state and federal lands, so more people can share in their physical and spiritual fruits. They are the plains; they are the mountains; and, as I discovered, they are part of the wind, the dirt, and the grass.
After eating bison, I want more. It approaches perfection in a game meat.
After this hunt, I'd be happy to hunt my next bison in some rolling grassland, like where you'd find a pronghorn.
I won't be returning to hunt them here, this is once in a lifetime. The experience is also, truly, once in a lifetime. This is a tale wrapped in rugged terrain, rugged animals, rugged people, and a little bit of weather.
I left home in a blizzard with my family to visit a national park. I want to mix outdoor fun with hunting for my daughters, so that they will pack my bison and elk as I get too worn out to pack them myself. No family pictures, but they enjoy the sights and climbing on rocks, but mostly the hotel pool.
I also return in a blizzard, under much more difficult circumstances,
but with a grin on my face.
