Thank you All. Just got out of the woods. Now eating cheeseburgers and drinking beer. Good times.

This is right after the shot. You can see him dead in his bed.



Soaking it in. Emotions were high at this point. Really, really high.  Not sure I can explain how high.



And this is me praying to God he was a billy. (I was 99% sure he was but never saw him pee)

Congrats Josh. What a memory to have for your lifetime. Hope you took lotsa pictures you can share. I've been up there years ago looking for a mule that was left there because he decided he wanted stay put. Pretty rugged and beautiful country......

Way to go Josh! I was worried Mother Nature was against you, but she was on your side this weekend. I knew you'd seal the deal. Way to stick with it. Fantastic hunt, beautiful billy. Wish I could have been there. Can't wait for more pics and the whole story.

Awesome, I'll have you know I pulled my phone out of the pack several times this weekend hoping for an update but couldn't ever get service. Congrats on what sounds like a hell of a hunt and a gorgeous animal.
