nice write up and bull! Good looking heavy bull, looks like what ever happened on the drivers side, shifted growth to the passengers side. I have a bull like that and they are neat.

Congratulations. Was this a limited draw area? Did you see any other hunters? Where you hunting a wilderness area and hiked the six miles into it?
I've hunted several wilderness areas and found that most hunters only go a few miles in, then stop. The trick is just going in farther then the rest of them to find the animals. On all my hunts, I've hired a packer to take us in on horseback, then pick us up a week later. I've gone as far as 20 miles one way in Idaho to escape the crowds and be in the middle of good elk country. I hunted the Mt Zirkel WIlderness are out of Steamboat Springs and once we entered the Wilderness boundry, didn't see any more sign of people.

Unless the animals are not way back in there All the elk I saw this trip died within a mile or so of the trailhead. We were 4 miles back camped in plus whatever we walked and saw very few elk
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

It was over the counter behind widerness. Accessibility would only be foot or horse because it was so steep and thick.
