I live in Wyoming and have hunted elk every year, from when I was 12 till now, 16 years, with pretty good success. And yet, every year I still get the shakes and adrenalin rush when I spot the first herd of elk, and after the shot as well, whether cow or bull. Elk hunting is just something beautiful, magical. Great story, and fantastic hunt. Elk meat feeds my family and helps get us through the winter, I'm certain you will enjoy yours!!

Congrats!
Watch your diet (elk meat makes one thing easier), keep fit, and practice so you can do it all again!

Good job, the first is the hardest. The way you hunt I bet you'll do it again soon. Congrats and good luck this year

The rancher did ask me a couple of times before he left with the mule if I was sure that I wanted to carry it out. I probably will let him haul the next one out with the horses, just wanted to do the first one myself...........JR
