My labor day scouting.

Congrats on an awesome trophy. You guys consistently get it done and that makes if more of a trophy then one huge rack. You did well on finding a women that will pack out a whole elk by herself.

Way to go Justin! Spoil the heck out of that girl this Christmas...perhaps with the best pack on the market!

Nice job, glad to see she didn't leave you on the hill after the 3rd trip...LOL. Way to get it done, very impressive.

Sorry BC all of the women in that family have rings.

Mica man- lord willing, we plan to spend a lot of time trying to get her an elk in the next few weeks.

Pointer- the second hind leg was boned out before she returned. I usually leave the bone in the front. I think we have quite a bit more wast if we bone the whole animal.

Fowladdict- I have a feeling this would be the last time she would put up with my shenanigans if I bought her a meat pack for Christmas.

I think my hunting story had everything.

√ Camp shot to set the mood.
√ stereotypical bloody arrow shot.
√ forced perspective trophy photo.
√ impatient audience due to photo load time.
√ funny meatpacking story.

Indeed, I give it 4.5 stars out of five.

Only missing how certain high priced gear items (new for 2014!) allowed you to overcome the insurmountable odds.

I did mention Walmart.
HEY WALMART DO THE RIGHT THING!

Congrats on a fine bull. You have an awesome wife to do all the packing. You better work hard now at helping her get a bull.

 

[Jwill]

Heck of a scouting trip, congrats on the bull!

 

[MT_elk]

Congrats on the elk!

 

[Joe Hulburt]

Good stuff! Glad if all worked out alright.

I'm gimping around on a torn meniscus this season trying to make a go of it. Probably should have had surgery in early August but trying to avoid that. I am almost afraid to release an arrow due to the fact that I know sometimes they can take you where you didn't intend to go... Luckily my wife is always game to get in on the work so I will get it done somehow!

 

[What Map]

Great thread. My hats off to the heroine of the story. She went beyond the call of duty. Team work to the max. What a perfect hunting partner.

 

[Elkmagnet]

Thanks everyone! I can't wait to get back at it.

 

[Baerman]

Grats! Now get her a bigger bull
