Good job PA BEN!!  Great place to walk around for a few days.  I see they are still around.  Plat has it right and wandering in the shed is a great experience

Sounds like you had a good time, I passed on a bull about that same size on my hunt. I wasn't going to pack a smaller bull out of there, but who knows, if I haven't pulled my hamstring I might have.  :dunno:

I am glad you had a good time.  I wasn't going to shoot a small bull either, but decided to take this one late in the game.  It ended up being a fairly easy pack (relatively speaking 8)).

 Reading all these stories really bums me out that I screwed up my knee before last season when I drew the permit.

Knee was back to 100% by April though and felt good this season so far.
There is no greater respect to have for wildlife than to harvest an animal fairly and use it's flesh to feed your family.  ~me

"Quality" permits don't necessarily result in a quality animal, but almost always result in a quality hunt experience.

Congratulations.
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

Got any pics of that bull that you passed up?

 :tup: Nice Elk and heck of an experience Grats.
"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

No pictures of him, it was him and a few cows. We hunted around them looking for a bigger bull that might have been with them so I didn't pull out my camera.
