Fantastically cool my friend. Way to get him involved early, and in the right way.
My boy took his first cow when he was 12, and we also hiked/biked that one out. Got back to camp at 2 am. He slept the entire drive home the next day. He's 17 now and bigger than me. I'd give a million dollars or so to go back to the point you're at. It passes in the blink of an eye. Enjoy every minute of it.

p.s. Congrats on a fine bull with your bow.

Congratulations! Even more fun to have that young man involved on the pack out. You can tell from his smile he was proud to get to help. Well done! Thanks for sharing the pictures.

That's right, hard to top being 9 years old and skipping school with dad. Combine that with elk, 4-wheeler and motorcycling and we know he's hooked on the Good Life! Congrats! PS. Hey, is that gut hanging over your belt?

Skipping school to help dad pack out an elk using the dirt-bike/ATV just rocketed that young man into the center of the envy of all his friends universe.
I really like that right-side goober-antler too. Congratulations!

Liked the way you put down a meatbull instead of worrying half to death about getting the "big 6 pt in the sky" for the wall. Good eats for your family. MB

Congrats on the elk. Awesome having your little helper get in on the action.

Very well done. I've found that not nearly all the education I want my boys to have occurs inside a school house. Stellar Dad move!
