Short and sweet this year. Same area, I just took my mule this time so I wouldn't have to haul the deer out alone. His 70'year old parents came also, and they are incredible hunters. I shot the deer in the afternoon on my first day. 4 miles in with about a 3000' gain. Took two of us nearly 3 hours to get him out. Still a lot easier then last year alone. Not much more interesting then that. Still, from packing to processing it took a week. Great to hunt with friends, especially people in that age category that can put most of us to shame. Ended up buying a used 7mm weatherby mag. First gun. Shot flawlessly. There goes my late special permit.

Way to go. Glad to see you gettin all these tags filled in just part of a day, seems your elk was a short hunt too. Leaves a lot lore time for the "other" things in life :tup:. Nice looking buck.
