Big forkie, 3x4, flip a coin. It's not the size of the game you take that makes your show interesting. It's the journey.
Congratulations! Great hunt and great story. Those are definitely the ones you remember, and I think this will be one the viewers remember.
During my hunt I passed two big 4x4s fighting on the shoulder of the blacktop (BLM land, season open) during the middle of the day, and wound up taking a forkhorn in the backcountry on the 5th day.
This is why I watch the web site and the show. Thanks for sharing it all.

The tough hunts are the ones that make the greatest memories, not the biggest racks.

I'm pretty sure you have gone over the alloted time for posting a story with out any pictures to go along with your buck!
Not like you've been sidetracked or anything...

Even pics of the Backstraps would be good.
Just for you guys, I went out and dug the Pelican cases from the cargo trailer, found the camera, and uploaded this pic. 
As you can see, a tall forkie, a wind burned face, late light, and a big smile. All the necessities for a good adventure.

A few more pics.
Third day of the hunt at 10,800'. Snow would be too little too late.
Snow came, and so did the wind. Time to get down off this windswept joint.
Mason, the camera guy (not required to wear orange) looking to confirm that the buck I was watching was not a hallucination on my part. We set up on the buck by hiking over to the ridge he is glassing into. The buck then emerged down in the sage flat, then climbed up the ridge we are glassing from, out toward the end of this ridge. We then ran down the ridge we were set up on, back across the flat that has a fence line preventing a straight run, then back up this ridge, trying to catch him. The "Other buck" got shot down in the bottom of the drainage that is out of frame and way to the left of this pic, almost straight behind where Mason is standing.
