No luck for me this year, I put in for a hard draw hunt since I had so much fun last year and didn't want to burn my points yet. I have a good friend who pulled an archery deer tag for the books, so I will be out there some this year. I also have some cousins who may draw the roadless LE rifle elk since they have tons of points.
I saw your wife's bull, it was absolutely huge. Just out of curiosity, did you ever get it scored?
I chased one like it for close to a week, but could never get closer than 120 yards. Too many cows around him with too many eyes. I was still very very happy with the bull I took and had an amazing hunt. There is just so much land out there to hunt. I have my thoughts on the area you hunted in based on the pictures and talking with locals who know the area much better than I do...
