One of my favorite things about this site are when people take the time to write up their stories.  Thanks for the good read.  Congrats!

Nice buck! Well that story there puts my lil solo bear hunt to shame, i was only 9 miles in lol., I dont know how you have the determination to hike in 14miles for a critter, must of been a hell of a pack out. One of these days i will have to hike into that wilderness and see just how lost i can get

Great buck bone.  I haven't been very excited about hunting season this year.  But your story sure got me excited and ready to go.

Congrats on a fantastic buck, sir! Great write-up and photos as always... the photos you posted of these bucks earlier definitely got me glassing a little higher in elevation than I normally would have! I think you killed a new-and-endangered species... the mule-horn sheep... or perhaps a muley-goat! :chuckle:
I am not opposed to golf, for I suspect it keeps armies of the unworthy from discovering deer.

Congrats Bone and thanks for the write up!  Mulies with the trad bow, on a solo backpack hunt are just so darn cool.  I'm constantly trying to figure out how to lighten up my load.  Last week during the first 3 days elk opener I slept on the ground with no bag/shelter, was too hot to get in the bivy sack or bag...  Now I'm thinking about next year and how light I can go.

Thanks guys.   Meat turned out fine Coach.  It was key to know where there were cooler spots to keep it in the journey.  Packing good meat bags is a must as well to keep it clean and let it get air.

I'm not sure.   I picked them up at sportsmans wharehouse a few years ago for my moose hunt.   The wrapper is long gone and I don't recall any logos on them.

You probably ate half of the animal while you were way back there anyhow!! :chuckle:
