Beautiful animal. Congratulations. Your doing a world class job of guiding this season. While his feet were recovering from the blisters how were your legs from hiking that sheep down the canyon? It appears that there was a bunch of poison oak somewhere that is rather slow to heal.

Wish we had a tag for where I deer hunt (none offered in this unit).

Saturday morning I saw 7 moose in one swamp, at least 3 were bulls. Two were massive, when you can see palms at over a mile it has to be good... Saw the big bulls fight a bit, saw all the bulls chasing cows.

Sorry for the crap photos, taken through a spotter. The bull pictured had at least 4 brow tines on each side, maybe 5. Hard to say at that distance. I showed my dad the pictures and he was still happier than a clam in mud with his, and so am I.

I'm late to this thread, but what an outstanding season! Congrats and thank you for sharing all the stories! I'll be helping my buddy with the late bull tag there next month.
