Well we got my dad his bull it was the craziest hunt i have ever been on wish i had it on video. It started opening day later in the afternoon when we found a heard of about 200 hundred head so we set up a push to get my dad who is handicapped a good shot. There was only one good bull in the herd, and the push worked out perfect my cousin and his boy on the back side of the mountain me and my nephew in one drainage forcing the herd to run to my dad and they elk did he shot once hit the bull, it then ran around the back side, so my dad and friend and brother in-law drove the razor around the back of the mountain, the elk had gone out to to a edge of a cliff when he shot again the elk slid to the edge and only a sage brush was holding this elk from falling at this time it was dark, so me and my cousin and brother in-law decided to put a rope around a tree and try to put the other end around the elk neck, just then the elk flinched and went off the a 1000 ft. cliff all we heard was crashing, we are were sick to our stomachs we didn't know what to do. My dad coudn't walk to see all this happen and thought we were kidding it was a sad deal. We stayed in a motel nearby and decided to come back in the morning to look for it, so next day we worked our way below the cliffs and after an hour of looking i came across my dad's bull still intact no broken antlers could not believe it we were so excited, as for the body, it was destroyed no saving the cape or meat pretty beat up, we end up tagging it and cutting the head off and was able to drag it out the bottom. My dad was sad about the meat but so excited the bull he had just killed. It was very happy and emotional time for all of us to see my 70 year old handicapped dad get this bull,a hunt i will never forget, and want to thank everyone who helped out with this hunt, along with people on monster muleys advice (hossblur)thank you.
