Who cares what it scores, its the meaning, and memories of a warrior that counts. BLR your an outstanding brother, hunter, father, husband, and all around guy. I wish to meet you someday, until then happy hunting, you have made us all proud.  :tup:

Thank you all for the kind words.  I feel so humbled by all of this.  He's a beautiful bull and one who represents so much.  Slept in a bit and had a good breakfast with the guys.  Whit helped me cut meat most of today and I ran home to get more ice and get gear squared away again.  There are more tags in camp and elk on the mountain that need arrows so no time for rest and relaxation.  That stuff is for January :chuckle:

As for a mount, I will just be doing a euro.  I can't fit an elk in my house anyways so it will live at a buddies until we move.  I was gonna cape him but being upside down and against a tree, it was too much effort by myself.  Pics are deceiving, it was steep as hell, so just boning him out solo was enough hastle.  On top of that, a shoulder mount on an elk isn't exactly in my hunting budget.  I could do it, but it would mean possibly sacrificing a deer hunt next year and that isn't an option :chuckle:

When I get home sunday I will sit down at a real computer and fill you all in on how it all went down.  It was one hell of a hunt :tup:
Good luck on the other tags! You guys are studs!

Congrats again. Read through most of the pages again today and it's awesome to see so much effort come together with GREAT success!

I can't wait to read the whole story. Have fun helping others fill their tags!

Yeah one heck of a bull. Mass for days on that thing.  :drool:
"When my bow falls, so shall the world. When me heart ceases to pump blood to my body, it will all come crashing down. As a hunter, we are bound by duty, nay, bound by our very soul to this world. When a hunter dies we feel it, we sense it, and the world trembles with sorrow. When I die, so shall the world, from the shock of loosing such a great part of ones soul." Ezekiel, Okeanos Hunter
