This bull fell right on the public private boundary line, he was about ten feet in public when I shot him. The barbed wire laying on the ground by his feet is the property line. This old cow fell in her tracks with a neck shot. I had hit the backcountry where the bull in the previous picture was taken the year before without any luck. When I got back to my ATV there were fresh tracks along the two track it was on and I dropped her about 70 yards from my scooter, right in the trail. I don't usually go for neck shots but about ten feet away was a very steep drop that I didn't want to pack her up. Last edited by BeanMan; 09/12/12. Reason: Speeling correction

It was standing between 2 large rocks and it dropped straight down, wedged between them. There was no way to move it at all. He had to skin and bone from the top down. It took him 6 hrs to bone it and it came out in confetti sized pieces. “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” ― George Orwell It's not over when you lose.

We caped and cut him up right there. It was pretty exciting. (This was a client's sheep) Last edited by Ralphie; 09/13/12.

Mut have been a lot of fun working around that ledge... Blood and body fluids would freeze on the rock making it treacherous. I field dressed that entire elk with one hand while I clung to the rock with the other. When guts would slide off the rock it seemed like it would take a very long time before we heard them hit the ground below. That evergreen pictured was a VERY tall tree.
