[QUOTE="aspenbugle, post: 720639, member: 6481"] Thanks guys. The angle of the horns in the boning out pic make them look bigger than they are...they are closer to what you see in the first pic. The whole family had him (as sausage) in our breakfast burritos this morning...yum. Always a cool feeling to know you shot and lugged that meal out on your own back a couple weeks prior. Mach V - I used the wife and child labor last year (pics below...he wasn't much bigger at all; 10-year old daughter carrying horns). In fact, my wife helped haul out two elk last year (a cow for my 12-year old daughter too). However, I was informed I should get one of those "friend things" this year if I wanted help :) She would help, but wanted to make sure I wasn't thinking she was signing a long-term contract as my hunting mule. I'll have to share the cow elk haul-out story sometime...what a nightmare! The wife was a trooper...and WAY beyond...lucky I'm still married. I got em out in bigger pieces last year - wife helped stear sled on hills, around trees, over logs etc. I think I got the "bait and switch" last year though. He looked very big going into a section of trees, when he walked out, I did a double-take thinking that bull didn't look near as big as what went in, had limited time to shoot, so I did. I'm still wondering if there were two and I didn't wait long enough (?). [/QUOTE]
