Dang guys. Hindsight is 2020 but tough guys do tough guy schit sometimes. I imagine this hunt will be talked about around a few campfires in the coming years. Mistakes aside you handled them pretty well and got out of there with the elk. Great groups of dudes on the mountain and that was lucky. Get the knee replaced and do the PT and get healed up for next year. Then just Keep the knives in the elk and out of the Idahoans and you’ll be set for years!
