I plan getting my 13yr old son up at 4:00AM(hardest part of the hunt[:@]), takeing him out to a ridge to overlook a canyon

, spot that 400+BC bull[

], stalk up to about 3yds, shoot him, have him run right to the pick-up and jump in the back

, lay down head first, and cash his chips

. I will then park on a steep hill with the elks hind quarters pointing down so I can gut him and have the pile roll right out of the back of the pick-up.

Sounds great, more than likely, we'll pack/hike/hunt for about 1000 miles in 16 days

and hopefully well find a shooter

(330BC). by then the blisters on my feet will be so sore

I'll dish out a couple hundred bucks for an outfitter to pack the thing out for me. Then I'll get to work about 5 days of overtime to pay for the taxidermy bill

.
