 :yeah:  I sure wouldn't have to think about it but from your other photos you(not me ever) will get more chances.

Nice pic btw.

Nice picture Bone! He's got great backs. Definitely a shooter up there just because of the lack of elk a guy sees because of how thick it is up there. There are some bigger bulls in that NE corner but that's a good looking P&Y bull.

I would have had a hard time letting him walk. I saw one fairly close to that this weekend and wished I had a bull tag

Having to ask shows me you are way too spoiled seeing (and photographing) all of those big deer.   :chuckle:  I'd shoot that one first day on a guided hunt!!  Love those long backscratchers.
