Heres some more, the SxS has a 2 4pt muleys and a good 7x6 bull. I had shot one of the bucks and bull night before and then buddy helping me pack out shot the other buck during packout. Some of these pics have posted before but I love them and the memories they bring.
Just got home from last elk scout trip and am fired up ( heard/watched raghorns try to bugle). First tags start 15 August, I will start with muzzy antelope then swap to archery elk as it cools down. Welcome to the busy season! Good luck guys
Generator get the Wen 2350, awesome unit and works like a champ. I have a 16'V-nose cargo trailer converted into a insulated camper that works amazing(it will likely be for sale next spring inside of your budget). Perfect toy hauler and camping set up for guy or two even in COLD weather...
