rightWe ate round steak (elk) again tonight,,i haven't even made it to the back straps, sirloins or tenderloins which i'm saving for Christmas,,

..Gotta tell ya though i never worked so damn hard in all my life getting that S.O.B. outta there, i shot him 185 yards uphill ,he ran over another ravine tto where i could not see him, trudged up the hill to where i could find his tracks in the snow,found his tracks that took me over another side hill, walked up and saw something brown laying there in the snow,walked up to it and saw thast i indeed hit him right through his neck,,took some photos and then thought well, maybe i'll tie a rope to one of his legs,ugh!, ugh!, no that ain't gonna work, so i gutted, skinned and quartered him right there, dragged each quarter plus rifle and back pack back up the ravine on top ,back down to the creek which i fell in and got my @ss soaken wet, draggedeach quarter plus my gear across the creek to a bottom of a steep rocky hill where my truck was perched on top,,i'm so glad i brought rope, all this began around 6:00 am in the morning and i was never so glad to reach camp that afternoon around 3:00 pm

..But you know what..i'd do it all over again.
