Congratulations. Nice bull. As was said, processing and packing it out is an undertaking.

I don't think anyone will argue about how dead that elk is sir. Great job.

I don't think anyone will argue about how dead that elk is sir. Great job. He was still warm after collapsing straight down to the ground and expiring…..a good vet may have been able to save him

Congratulations. Nice bull. As was said, processing and packing it out is an undertaking. It’s all just part of it. There is something special about taking an animal in the wilderness where man can’t be heard or seen.

I do believe you are tougher than I am. Wonderful story and a wonderful trophy. Did you happen to recover the bullet?
I'm with you, I dont care what your thing is; if you like jacketed, cast, scoped, irons, etc. AS LONG AS YOU ARE OUT THERE!! You certainly got out there and got it done and congratulations are in order!

I recovered one out of a white tail shot frontal once….

Who's brand of ears do you use sir? I had them custom molded at my ear doc. About $900 for the set. Westone Digital X They improve my hearing and protect it. Comfortable too. When I’m hunting they are in the whole time. The battery last a whole day hunting. Common size 13
