My favorite was a limited entry, public land muzzleloader elk hunt in Central Utah, only an hour from home. It took me 13 years of applying to finally draw the tag. I had 3 of my best friends/hunting buddies with me and shot a 362", perfectly symmetrical, 6x6 bull. It was the hunt of a lifetime as we looked at 5 other mature bulls before I shot mine on the second day. We had scouted the week before and found a really big 7x6 that probably would have scored higher than the one I shot, but being asymmetrical, he wasn't nearly as pretty. That elk mount has a place of honor on the living room wall and the hunt will long be remembered for good times, good friends, great weather and a fantastic animal. I couldn't have scripted the hunt any better.
