[Rainier10]

uuggghhh, I keep hitting play and nothing is happening!!            OK, that's the ultimate tease!!

Oh goodness, post it!  LOL

I know it’s a tease but I don’t have the video. I’m an iPhone guy and Micah is an android guy. It’s a compatibility thing

Here’s the cliff notes for the video, elk walks in and I shoot it.

I think it’s an amazing video. The best videos are when we are tracking. You really see the emotion and uncertainty as I’m struggling with the shot and whether we will find the bull before the night comes and the rainstorm hits.

It’s all in short clips on his phone and he is going to edit it all together. I think he is going to add some trail camera footage another member sent me of the bull in velvet.

Thanks man. Did you see the bear I popped early in the season with my rifle? Love that rifle and that bear was the only time I had it out.

Sending the tooth in for aging.  Taxidermist is guessing 6 years old. It will be interesting to see what the age is.

I am getting a shoulder mount done.  While I wait on that I am having a euro done so I can enjoy the antlers until the hide gets back and I work my way up to the front of the line for the actual mount.

I am not sure @bugs n bones is going to be able to get the head into his beetle container.

Awesome! Congrats on a whopper of an elk!
Couldn't be more happy for you!

Thanks man.  I do have a multiseason elk tag so I could go after a west side bull with muzzy or rifle but I think I am just going to get ready for my late archery entiat permit.
