[QUOTE="PowellSixO, post: 891778, member: 66495"] Thanks for all the responses guys! This was surely one of the most gratifying hunts I've ever been on. I just got the meat back from the local guy. With the backstraps, tender loins, steaks, burger, sausauge, and jerky meat, I ended up with 223lbs of meat. Not a monster bull by any means, but he sure does taste good!!! My wife usually isn't a big wild game kinda person, but she loves this elk. My 21 month old twin kids (boy and a girl) love it too. It feels good to sit down and eat a meal that I put on the table, and think that I built a rifle this year just for my elk hunt, I learned how to reload so that I would have the best ammo possible, I spent multiple weekends scouting for my hunt, I was in the right spot opening morning, I made the hike down the cliff, I made the shot (eventually, LOL), I gutted it, I quartered it, and I packed it out. There was a lot of time and work spent from the begining to the end, and it's a very satisfying feeling. It was a tough hunt to be honest. The unit is very thick with alligator junipers, manzanita trees, cactus, and yuka plants. It took us a lot of effort to find where the elk were. My buddy has had this tag 4 times now. He got a spike 2 tags ago, this year got this nice bull, and ate tag soup the other 2 years. It's not a road hunt unit. Lol. Not saying that's what your buddy was doing, but we sure saw a lot of it. Guys decked out in camo who never got out of their loud @$$ trucks. [/QUOTE]
