You live in Colorado let’s see the picture of the elk you kill! let’s hear how you addressed the removal. Please, share if only so we can be entertained.
You seem to think I can't. Are you sure you want to double down on that?

Simply ask. If you have a bug in your azz it’s your azz.
Let’s see them bulls. This is about killing elk and getting steak to the plate. Hit the androgell and post some pics.

What satisfaction do you get to criticize what someone else does. The purpose of the thread was to display techniques of winching out an elk. You have to satisfy your need to find fault with our method for no apparent reason. Just why do you need to do that?
So you change your tune ... A LOT. What happened to all of your insults of my reading skills, my physical ability, Colorado bulls, and so on? Read again or perhaps get someone to read it to you. I offered absolutely no opinion of any technique. In fact, my comment was not even a response to anything you posted. My point is that removing a bull with an enormous support system of people, machines, and on flat terrain is not exactly 'awesome'.

Could you tell us all one more time, what is the title of this thread?

What pack frame are you running in those big Colorado bull adventures? Are the packs short to the horses or long packs out? Also we’re all those going to the taxidermy shop? The hide looks heavy! 😉 keep the pics coming.

The hide looks heavy! 😉 keep the pics coming. I wish it was a frame pack. Frameless Lowe. Couple are shoulder mounts and a couple Euro. Hide and bone are way heavy, but better not to remove meat from the bone too soon, and sometimes time matters more than weight. I would absolutely like your setup if extracting from above. Very few of ours are killed below a road.

I would love me some flat, but I haven’t seen any yet. A bud’s rifle is flat shooting though. 😉😎

That is the flattest elk terrain I have ever seen. Ranch? At least 3 ATVs, at least 4 guys, 1000 ft of line available.
I would characterize that accomplishment as falling somewhere short of awesome.
What you don’t see is only eclipsed by what you don’t know. Your reading skills are lacking as well, it was 1000 yards not feet and in the Gravelly Mountains of Southwest Montana, miles and miles from any ranch. The Bull was bigger than most of the culls you are used to in Colorado and the guy that shot it would probably leave your sorry ass in the dust without a 4 wheeler. Spend more time criticizing your own accomplishments, don’t waste your time second guessing someone else’s success... Without a doubt, you are the most ignorant dumba$$ to ever turn on a computer....come kill that bull on the coast and see how well your rigging works. Thanks for the laugh!!!!!

Who cares about all the packing out pictures. What is the wheel gun?

Shot the bull late and got it field dressed in the dark but there were no trees tall enough so the quarters hung about a foot off the ground. I knew there were bears about. Next morning a bear had claimed the bull and covered the gut pile with leaves. My blue heelers were going crazy and they made it clear to us that the bear was only about 75 yards off in another stand of timber. I was young and poor and an S&W .22 was all I had at the time. I'd have brought my rifle if I had known it was going to get as sporting as that.

Shrapnel “wins”. Nobody can hold a candle to him bragging about being able to unwrap a piece of bubblegum.

Good thing the bear didn't come greet you. Hard choice...which has more ft/lbs energy, the 40g lead bullet or just throwing the whole gun at him. Your hands would not have been rock steady, and getting 40g of lead through the eye socket on a charging bear would not be fun. LOL
