B,
Congrats on a nice bull. But more importantly, congrats on doing it all including the haul out.....all by yourself. Doesn't that give you immense personal satisfaction?

Thanks for the comments, guys. Like Buffy did before her, Zoe goes just about everywhere with me. She's not a lot of help, but she's a good companion. scnearshooter, Hi Pat, I haven't seen you post on here for a while. How do you load 1/2 a bull in a truck by yourself?
I once loaded a whole bull with the help of a 70 yr old man.
Just wondering... I won't hit the big 70 for a couple more years, but I still get around good and am somewhat ingenious, like using a come-along and a plywood ramp. I've even loaded a couple of dead horses into my truck by myself that way. ...congrats on doing it all including the haul out.....all by yourself. Doesn't that give you immense personal satisfaction? That wasn't the first elk (or moose) that I've done all by myself, including the haul out. Yes, I felt that personal satisfaction after I got him home and hung in my shed, and I really felt like taking an Advil and a nap, but instead I took a shower and went into town and played 9 holes of golf.

Congrats, Kurt. Very happy for you. Opening day was more like fishing weather, but if the bulls were accommodating, all the better.
