So he voted for a bi-partisan background check bill (which ~86% of Americans support), and then nothing else that's relevant to this "is he coming for your guns" discussion. Got it.
I sent an inreach message to the pilot that said "second bull down. Still working to pinpoint a spot to land." I was still hoping to find a better spot on the pack out back to camp. Without finding one, I followed up, describing the spot I had found just before the bull reappeared.
