Well lads, I had a pretty exciting weekend.Four gents from Pa. and three gents from La. shared my elk woods with me. On Staurday, one of thePa. boyz hit a 5x6 bull. He hit him in the right hind quarter. We foundzero blood but were able to track him using all the drag marks the bull was leaving. We passed a hunter who actually saw the bull and confirmed he was hit in the rear leg (the hunter had a cow tag, and thus, did not drop the bull in his tracks). The bull managed to elude us on Saturady.We found him skinned and quartered in a camp of scum hunters the following morning. The bastards lied about how they came by the elk. We simply wanted the truth-for closure purposes. Long story...we are sure they found him dead.
Anyway, on Saturday evening, Jesse and I killed a cow:

On Sunday, I took Mark Perry ( the friend with cancer) and Chris Laylon ( From Pa.) to 13,500 feet.

It took me three minutes to find elk from this high perk in God's country. Chris and Mark dropped down on them from above. I stayed-wasn't about to give up the best seat in the house. From 300+ yards, Chris and Mark dropped the hammer on a Raghorn bulland cow.

Two mulie bucks were had by the La. boyz. They were in the fine care of my sister. Pictures pending...
We spent the rest of the day packing out meat. I'm still a touch sore from the ordeal
