That appreciation photo is top notch.

Thank you.. it is one of my favorites from the trip.. at least from the ones that I can share without showing too much scenery.

Still working on getting those videos from Jeff... I have a still shot from when the elk got me though.

And another showing the stream. At least it wasn't the guts!

Gutless method i see, it really starts getting dicey when they start getting that much pressure built up and then you have to go in for the tenderloins

Hirshey, thanks as always for sharing the incredible stories and photos.  You have the "Aldo Leopold gift"- great hunting skills, great writing skills, and a strong sense of ethics.  If Hunt-WA ever publishes a collection of hunting stories as told by members, you would figure prominently!

Yeah, planned on relieving the pressure once that final hind quarter was off... guess I got started a little earlier than expected oops!

Thanks kindly. Those are complementary words and I hope to continue to live up to them!
