Gummer!

Had a great time in WY. My buddy passed on this one, and by the time I realized he was passing, opportunity was gone. We holed up 5 hours (ok, I snoozed, he glassed), and mid-afternoon we put on a big downwind buttonhook and came back up with the wind in our faces. Spotted him sneaking out of the trees at 15 minutes after sunset, got in position, and shot him with 6 minutes of legal light remaining.

Sorry for the bloody pics, he died 1/2 way down an almost-cliff, and we couldn't move him whole. After dressing, we could barely move him, but got him to the top, and took pics in the total dark. Boned out, packed out, and in bed by the early AM.

He's ancient, WGFD took teeth for aging; molars worn flat to the gumline, and nothing but root pegs in the front. I'll be amazed if he's less than 9 1/2 years old.
