Remind me never, ever to go hunting with you, Formid! Not even way back when when I thought I was pretty tough!
Great story but next time let a couple of Montana fellers know kinda the area of where you are going to be hunting just in case.
The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.

Congratulations on the bull, clearly took some mental toughness. This thread must set some record for number of selfies.

All these near Death occurrences and still has plenty of time for picture taking. Setting cameras up for "selfies" and documenting every miniscule happening takes a ton of work for a healthy dude, much less one who is starving and taxed physically to extremes  A strange world we live in now. Formid is Super-Human BTW, I wouldn't waste my money on a processor after leaving an animal ungutted and unskinnned over night. Interesting quarters with the hide still on them  Very good point about the "selfies". When I get tired, the first sacrifice is pic's.

BTW, I wouldn't waste my money on a processor after leaving an animal ungutted and unskinnned over night. Interesting quarters with the hide still on them As cold as it was I would not worry that there was spoilage. In cold weather I've done it several times out of necessity, and all was just fine. I've also recovered animals at first light the the next morning in mild weather. I've often quartered in the same way, skin on as it helps keep things clean...However not if i have to pack it over a few miles, i dont even take bones then, but i aint as tough as formid  About the only spoilage i'd be worried about that time of year would be the neck.

Nice job, I enjoyed reading about your hunt, some will never get it, most of their elk hunting is done from the passenger side of the truck.
Congratulations on a great hunt.
