Here are a few pics of my NV bull from this year. We had a great time as a family scouting and getting prepared for the hunt. I would like to thank all those who gave me tips on different places to check out. I really am grateful to you all.

I had gallbladder surgery a week before the hunt so I was still really sore and had to really take it easy. I packed my rifle and my Dad took my pack. We seen alot of animals and passed on 14 bulls the 1st day including the bull I ended up harvesting. I couldn't believe how active the bulls were as most of them still had cows and were screaming their heads off. Sunday morning we spotted this bull with a handful of cows and two raghorns. I had him at 212 yards at one point but decided again to pass him up. After about 30 minutes I started second guessing myself and figured since I was still recovering from the surgery I had better take this bull while I still had help getting him off the mountain. We relocated the bull and made a good stalk. The bull actually let out one final scream minutes before we got into position. We got into postion and he offered me a good broadside shot at 420 yards and he didn't go far. A lot of memories were made and I will always remember this hunt with my friends and family.

Great Bull, but even greater when family is involved. Hopefully I can draw an Elk tag next year with 16 points for NR. What unit and how many points did you have? Don
 
Thanks for the comments guys. Pleasedear, I am feeling way better but sure do miss being in the hills.

Pucci, I had 6 points as a resident and drew my 4th choice area 131-132.

I saw your post and it sounded like you might need a little info in the area where you are going. I've hunted the 222 area and part of 221. I'm not sure if that is the area you are hunting but I could help you out if you need it.
