thanks again everyone! yeah im definitely hooked lol and i thanked my father inlaw by giving one whole side of the back straps. i think he was even happier than me to see a bull go down in that area simply because he's been hunting there for almost a decade and has yet to take a bull there or anywhere. there's never been a bull taken in our elk camp until this one and it was sure nice to see everyones spirits up. And with me being the rookie everyone wanted to push harder and try to get another one.
after being beat by the mountain and terrain the year before ( my first year at this elk camp) i decided this year would be different. i spent time at the gym, got a nice mt. bike and started riding often. also did alot of camping/ scouting in the area in the summer just to get familiar with everything and most important, get comfortable with the area. All i can say is it sure felt great to have everything pay off in the end. now i just have an itch to take a deer.....
