It looks like a great room to spend some time relaxing in. Nice job on the story and elk.

Did you put in for this year? Nice mount I did not, but my hunting partner did. I plan on packing his bull out this fall. I did get my small game license and plan on giving the grouse hell while we hunt! And done with this now...well 75% done, going back in for the last load. The original buddy who agreed to my crazy plan 2.5 years ago drew the same tag I had last year, and on opening morning he got this one 20 minutes after legal light. He had a couple dozen cows and was bugling his head off, awesome experience! Even crazier, my buddy was sitting exactly where I was when I shot mine, but shot him in a drainage a good 500+ yards closer to camp than mine which was great!

Hesitated bumping this, but I went elk hunting again for the first time since 2020. Knocked down some Antelope and Mule deer in the meantime in 2021/2022. But 2023 was back to our "roots".

Congratulations on a great hunt. I especially like the rack tied to the top of the camper.

Excellent report, outstanding bull. I predict you'll never kill a bigger bull on public land. Tremendous memories. Congrats.
