See any grizzlies?

Congrats. I’m glad it worked out well for ya. That unit you were in with warm weather is a tough unit to turn up a good bull.

Congrats on a great hunt. Every serious big game hunter needs to do at least one pack string hunt during their career.

Unfortunately, I was the only one in camp that did not see a griz. One day, there were seven grizzlies seen and three were a sow and two cubs strolling right through camp while I was on a hike. Another day after my harvest, I hiked from camp to grab those sheds and one of the guides who rode down the same trail later that night said griz tracks were over my tracks. Oh well, guess it gives me good reason to go explore that country more. While I definitely have a respect for griz, I learned they are not there looking for trouble.

I went for the hunt but the experience with horses was every bit as exciting and enjoyable. I too highly recommend every DIY hunter give it a try at some point.

Congratulations on a successful hunt!

Congrats on the awesome bull and sounds like you had a solid outfitter and experience. Is Corey Fischer still the owner at Crandall? I'm 2 below max points and put 51 on my list along with the 61/62/62 group. Done with point creep.

I’d check out Josh with Shoshone lodge outfitters as it’s a few weeks later in those units that he hunts. 51 is really weather dependent and there is one big named outfitter in that unit you should stay away from.

Appreciate that. Heard same on 51. It's a dice roll, but you can really hit when it dumps in the park. I have a call into Josh Mart already and good to know he is a thumbs up. Always that risk with some outfitters no doubt and tough to pay for but want that late season wilderness option if needed. My thumbs up is Meade at 7D (but hunts a max draw elk unit). Can't recommend more.
