PA Ben,

Awesome!   Great bull!  Tell me about your rifle.

I picked it up new for this hunt. Any reason to buy a new gun It's a Ruger M77 Mark II in 7MM REM. MAG. Left hand. I'm right handed but shoot lefty. Bausch & Lomb, 6x24x40.

Great job and pictures. Sounds like there needs to be a story about the 6 stitches, I bet it was I knife accident.

I just got back from Wyoming tonight and reading the moose adventures. I cut my thumb when tacking the hair off the skull cap on my antelope and it didn't require stitches.

I remember many years ago when my Buddy and I were hunting goats in the Olympics and when I was capping his out, I cut my thumb pretty bad. Lots of blood and bandage it up and continue. 3 weeks later when I was capping mine out I did the same exact move and recut the thumb that was getting close to being healed up.

I leave next Friday for my moose hunt.

Good luck Roger, I am still looking for a moose as well so dont feel alone. I am heading for Montana next week and will hit the moose again when I get back, hope you find a good one before I get back

The work was all done. We took the head and the last of the meat out on my game cart. It was raining hard and the knots on the small cord were wet and tight. So I got a knife to cut them. My buddy laid the head and cape on a tarp because of the mud. I reached down with my left hand to move the tarp and the head flopped over, the horn pinned my right hand with the knife down on to my left hand. Didn't get the tendon but it was close. 6 stitches.

Enjoyed the pictures Pa Ben. Can't imajine the pull of the loaded cart with the bike in the wet dirt road. 
Hope it was down hill.
Great stories to add to your OIL hunt, even with the moose getting the last laugh in cutting your hand.

Hey Rougheye if you do it right she should be skinning and capeing too! 

[PA BEN]
