Congrats on a great year! Also props to your caller on that cat hunt. You used on of my favorite tactics. I would love to hear more about this cat hunt. I only know a few little details and I was very impressed.  I bet @rainshadow1 would like to hear it too

I hunted close to the wilderness about 4 miles from where I parked.    Before I left I read real quick what do to with the meat in grizz country,  so I hung four bags at around 10ft.   I actually did about 32 miles total packing camp and meat/horns out. I did the head and horns/guarter that evening. I did 20+ the next day.   Then another 4 coming out in the morning.   I had grizzly everyday on my trail.  There was grizzly *censored* right near my truck (very orange in color).   Found a headlamp on the trail and met a horseback guy at the trailhead who I returned it to.  He did mention he would help but was busy.  I told him that I was on my last load and camp so would prefer to do it myself at this point.  He offered his cell incase of emergency. He said as the season gets later the bears get more aggressive but mainly want no contact from human and will get off the trail let you pass and then get back on :).  I tried to be vocal around blind corners and went in real slow to hanging meat that I put in the open.    The wolves were everywhere had them near camp twice and I found at least 9 elk kills. 
I am not the most fit guy. 6'4 275.  I kept fueled with salt stick pills and Gatorade with sugar, water and granola.   Seemed to keep me trucking along with 80+lb packs
