Good for you!! The hard hunts are the ones we remember the most.

Even with the aches and pains, two pack trips with no sound but falling snow wasn’t exactly terrible

Nice buck, congrats!
I can 'hear' that snow falling in your last pic. Thanks for sharing.

Very cool, I need to hook my wife up with you as a mentor.

Ha! Send her over! I’ll take any excuse I can get to talk hunting or go play outside

Thanks for sharing!

I need to practice my solo technique for the gutless method. Or I need to grow a third arm. More practice is probably easier.

Butchering solo is just rough period, would love to see how the pros do it.

This year when doing an elk solo I used paracord to hold each quarter up while I skinned them and then I wrapped them in a piece of tyvek before I made the final cut and dropped them to the ground. It was a little slow as I had to adjust the cord to keep tension. I have heard of hunters in AK using block and tackle on moose... would love to see that in action, especially if you are in a area that doesn't have any trees or rocks to anchor to.

Beautiful portrait of a hunt. Gutless is tricky. Just tried it for the first time. I like it, but need a lot more practice. Congratulations!
