Very cool! Congrats!
After reading various threads like this I know I have to go to the hardest area to get to on one of these hunts. I like a challenge.

Excellent sir. Congrats on the hunt and doing it solo. It is sort of a "right of passage" I think. Huge success.

Congrats. Your right about the Once in a Lifetime experience. 3 of us packed one out about 15 years ago. Had about 2 miles to the truck. Thats the last time I will do that.

I appreciate the comments guys. Like anything, the more you put into something, the more you get out of it. This was no exception.
I know it's a long ways out, but if anyone draws 36 next year, shoot me a message and I'll help any way I can. I only live 2.5 hours away from there.

Outstanding story. Congratulations on your success and smart thinking in changing areas to hunt. Kind of amazing that nobody else was hunting in the Wilderness, but from my experience, if you are going to hunt public land, the Wilderness Areas are where the animals are at.
