One of the best write ups I've read in a long time.  As you know this is my kind of hunt.  Well done!  An amazing animal.

Very impressive. Great story. Great hunt. The type of hunt most people can only dream about. That thing's a donkey of a mule. Great job!

Congrats on a nice deer,the one thing I like about your story is that you took the time to hunt the deer you wanted to get.That's what hunting is about , so much more rewarding after you get it done.Congrats again, :tup:

That's my kind of buck, nice and tall!   :tup:  Congrats again JJ I'm really happy for you! You know I wanted to be there but from the sounds of it I'd prob still be there curled up next to a rock like those on the Hillary step!  :chuckle:
I agree with bone this is an excellent write up, thanks for taking us on your journey and sharing  your experience. Your post is why I don't have magazine subscriptions anymore.

One question though? What do you do for an Encore'? ... 200" whitey???  :)

Although I threw out several invites to friends and family to accompany me on my quest, I had no takers on a backpack hunt that would take us up and over 13,000 feet. 

You didn't ask the right person.  ;)  I'm glad you didn't though... I think you will value this more as a solo trip. Congrats on a dandy brother. Can't wait to get a look at this one.
