BACK FROM MATHENY
« on: October 10, 2008, 12:34:01 PM »
Got back last night, had a great hunt.

I had the great opportunity to hunt Roosevelt elk during the rut, and all I have to say is we got plenty of action. I ended up shooting a 5 x5 on day 8. My time was running out, and the weather was turning bad.
I got a decent look at 5 different mature bulls, and waited for the king. I ended up with a nice bull with some good fat on him, so I feel blessed to have the hunt end this way.

We shot this bull 3 miles. There were 2 big creeks to cross, and lots of blowdown to cross. The 2 of us boned him out, and got it done in 3 trips.

Sorry for the poor picks. I ended up leaving my camera in the truck ! :bash:

Thanks all, especially Willie for all the help and encouragement.

Bryan, You did all the work. You made the calls, checked with past permit holders and packed out a bull. Congrats to you. I only wish I had been able to make it up and visit.

Good job.
