Enjoyed it all. What a rush. I love that you scouted the area, made your own hunt plan, and completed the task.

Did good!

All of the 'in the house' meat cutting is pretty much done with cheap fillet knives. I find they are the best for removing membranes, fat, fascia, etc. They'll stay sharp longer than I can stand on my feet cutting up elk meat.

I've got a nice boning knife if I'm removing meat from quarters.

My field knife is a bark river classic drop point, and my favorite.

Congrats! I start repeating different mantras as I pack out. Nothing messes with your mind and body like packing out an elk on your back.

As far as knives, I have a "normal" hunting knife for the field work. I use a fillet knife for the butcher final cutting. (Trimming fat and tendons off of meat)

Congrats on your bull! Way to get it done.

For knives, I also like the forschner knives. I have the 6" curved skinning knife.

Great story and congrats! Sometimes it's just that easy, but if you don't work hard at it like you had you'll never get those opportunities. Awesome work!

Congrats! Nice elk. Looks like a fun time.

Greenhorn, does the dude have a bow tag?, figured we'd see a 14 year old behind a big 400" bull already.

 

[MinnesotaHunter]

Congrats! Awesome bull!

 

[Khunter]

Congrats! that first one will always be at the top of the list, no matter what follows, which is sure to many more.

Well done! Hard to beat the sense of accomplishment that comes from putting in the work and getting it done.
