thanks for all the well wishes....
We hunted Hard for 11 days, and packed him out on our backs on the 12th day.
this hunt was no CAKE WALK. we had a few close calls but the wind would not cooperate, I used up 3 bottles of breeze squeeze. WE saw some beautiful country that made for some great memories.
when I have more time you will get the story & more pics,

Bench Beast, Awesome Bull! Did you have some help from some horse hunters getting your bull out? I just got a call from the hunter (the 1 rifle tag) in that groups wife. Her hubby just called her, I guess he shot what she said is a huge bull. I showed her a pic of your bull. If your the same guy they helped I guess this bull is a real big boy too. Anyways, It will probably take them a day or two to get it out. Just thought I'd pass this on since she said they helped someone with a big bull that was taken at 40 yards in there...
Is the rifle tag holder a member on this site?

Goldeneye... That was me. I met up with those guys on the trail, and found out he had the riffle tag. I shared some info with them, and they generously offered to pack out an elk if I got one. Later that evening I did just that. Mine is no where near this size, but better than tag soup with one day left and weather changing. Shared my camp with those guys, and they are class acts. Hope he shot the bull I think he might have...if so it plays second fiddle to nothing! It was boss hog in his realm for sure! Those guys saved me lots of back ache.. was looking at 50 miles total pack board to get him out. Horses are great!
Good deal Bam. Yea, they are real good guys. I should see a cell phone pic of it today. By the description his wife gave me I believe it might be the bull you are speaking of. He told his wife that while standing next to the down bull the horns were higher than his chest.
