Summary
A trip that Brent looks forward to every year for the fellowship and hunting gets cut short by success. Getting what you're going after can leave a bitter taste when it ends before you've had a chance to relax. Brent takes a filled tag at most opportunities and he filled this one with persistence, patience and while honoring a memory, just as he was taught. Get comfortable and get hid, gobblers are on the way.
Thank you to our sponsors, Case Knives and Stor-Mor.
