[QUOTE="dstark, post: 1128246, member: 48159"] I had an unbelievable hunt this year. A great friend of over 20 years and I drew an October rifle tag in central Idaho. We decided we had better take it seriously and backpack into the backcountry for a week. After several frustrating scouting trips we found our best bet and went for it. We had a few days of bad weather before the sky cleared and it all came together. The elk started bugling almost constantly which helped us out immensely. We were able to bring out 2 great six point bulls on our backs and have memories to last a lifetime! Nothing better than a great adventure with a great friend. I got my bull at about 35 yards in the timber, my buddy took his at about 75 yards in a stand of aspens. Both bulls were taken with a Sako A7 300 win mag and Vortex optics at about 9000ft elevation. I feel 2 inches shorter and 10 pounds lighter after that pack out! [/QUOTE]
