My little helpers to write and add drawings/colorful art to the packages.  And my big helpers to cut, grind and wrap two bull elk.

This trip was so different from any other hunt we had done, from the luxury accommodations we treated ourselves to on the way to and from the hunt, riding mules, hunting in griz country, working with an outfitter but without a doubt factors into why this trip stands out.  Even with all the new experiences, there was plenty of familiarities in that we repeatedly found ourselves laughing to tears throughout the 10 days, pushing our bodies and minds out of our comfort zones to be successful, packing our groceries off the mountain with our legs and backs, riding the emotional roller coaster of failing and succeeding, overcoming adversity and feeling humbled by how blessed we are to have shared yet another adventure together.

What a fantastic trip.  I think sometimes we under estimate how helpful it is to take others "along" on a trip like this.  I have been looking into a hunt like this for a couple of years, but there are so many options and outfitters out there, it is hard to know where to start.  Taking us along on your hunt, step by step is the kind of thing I think this website was originally intended for; hunters getting together, sharing information to give everyone a better experience.
In that way, I think this is one of the best threads I have read this year.  Thanks
