First off, congratulations on a great bull Kurt!
I've know Kurt for a long time. I've had the honor of hunting with him a number of times. If there is one thing I've come to know for sure about him is the that luck in the smallest part of his success. It took him more luck to draw the tag after 26 years, than anything. He might argue with me about that, but I've known him too long and seen his consistent success far too much to believe that luck is a huge factor in his success. He just flat out hunts hard and puts in more effort than most. I envy his relentless tenacity more than his success in killing oversized big game animals. There is just absolutely no quit in him.
