That will have to be after hunting season we still have elk to kill. I will post up an after pic when I get it back.

Post by: buglebuster on December 28, 2014, 09:02:31 PM: Looks good! I'd use the skull hooked system I like the way they look. I skull capped my muzzy bull from this year and just boiled it yesterday. Ran out of propane so had to improvise, yes I asked the wife's permission 1st lol(https://hunting-washington.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ftapatalk.imageshack.com%2Fv2%2F14%2F12%2F28%2F8ef5566d8be5ce48c7f737c6322e709a.jpg&hash=5cd05b2f661c9f7fb088469c8cc04ed221cfe4cc)(https://hunting-washington.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ftapatalk.imageshack.com%2Fv2%2F14%2F12%2F28%2Fac762156aab471191bce7b34f84ecf1a.jpg&hash=f65aa8539501f4daa91fdc6ddc850a01ada6d406)
