Congrats on your first bull. Hard work is very rewarding.

You don't need a saw for any of it. Just learn where the breaks are and you can pull everything off with just a knife. Just did it on my wifes bull in the dark by headlamp. It is really easy once you do it.

Great story and a nice first bull. Thanks for the share. :tup: Boning out your quarters is pretty easy and will eliminate about 40-50 lbs of total weight. YouTube is a great source for how to do this.

Great story Stick.
Can't believe the guys you shared drinks with didn't help with the packout.

They did offer, but I declined. Kinda like to keep them guessing on where our spot is. It was so hard to say, "thanks, but no thanks". My legs were begging me to accept the offer.  :chuckle:
