Awesome write up, video and bull!  Congrats and thank you so much for sharing it with us.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

So happy for you guys!  What an awesome bull!  How was the pack out?  There aren't many easy ones in that area.  Glad you found a good one and hope you got a few good views of the mountain.  That place is addictive, it was probably the best hunt I've ever had and I didn't even tag out on my hunt there.

Awesome elk and story, thanks for sharing! I’m glad you were able to share that with your son.

The first day pack out wasn't terrible.

Just the fact it’s a multiple day packout should scare most people away.
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

Wow! That's a great bull and a heck of a pack.

I'm curious why the hoofs were left attached for the pack out? I thought all elk hoofs were supposed to be removed and left behind. Does that unit have a special requirement?
