What a great trip .... I went in shape and it paid off I was flying up and down the Mountian
We were Into elk everyday but one .... I had a nice 6x6 at 40 that needed 3 more steps and the wind shifted and a good 5x5 at 30 that busted me as I drew ... He got to the spot quicker than we expected ... Last day has a cow at 30 but no shot ..... We had a stalk each day and got to about 49 yards on each elk but they were not buggling much so we ended up getting picked off
This bull was chasing the herd came over the top right where we were setting up .... Bruce and set up on either side of the rock after he buggled waiting and he picked Bruce's side... 40 yard shot and 100 yard recovery
Trip was 13 days .... Day and half to drive each way and 9 hunting
We had the butcher deep freeze and brought back in a good cooler with dry ice ....
My first elk hunt and I am hooked

Where are the knee bones?
We found him at 730 and had him quartered, bagged and capped by 1130 . At the truck by 4
We helped a friend (local guy) pack out a cow. He brought a tarp to work on .he deboned the entire elk on the mountain.. Great idea for next time
