[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 531673, member: 30902"] Back in the seventies my dad and a buddy made an Elk/Mule Deer trip to Colorado, near Platoro/Ozier Station. Dad got his bull early on the second day (trip planned for 7-10 days), so they spent the balance of the trip trying to get his buddy either a nice Muley or Bull. On day seven his buddy got a shot at a 350 class Muley that was just a monster. Unfortunately they both got so excited when they saw him they failed to consider getting him out. The buck dropped with a single shot at a little over 850yds as he was picking his way through a slide crossing the face, and proceeded to slide about 300 feet down into a deep, deep, narrow and very steep ravine. They had horses and a mule and so packing it out was easy once they got the rack, cape and meat where they could load it. Unfortunately due to the terrain it turned into a five down mountaineering expedition to get it all out. It took two full days just to get to it the first time plus three very difficult trips a piece up and down the sheer drop on a rope to get it all out. You make a very good point about having to be sure your intended target can be dropped where you can get it out. [/QUOTE]
