Well, I had a great hunt on the Plateau and will post a short report when I have a chance to sit down and put my thoughts together. I really need to thank those MM member(s) who helped me out (you know who you are and thanks)with information that made it possible for me to harvest this great deer. I had hopes for a monster (180-200") but this guy does not fall very short of my goal the way I figure and might gross around 170". I have no regrets whatsoever and determined that since he was the biggest deer that I would have harvested to date, I just could not pass up the shot and took it opening day just before dark. I met some new friends up there from Prescott that helped me pack it back to camp the next day and even helped cape it for me and bone it out for transport back home. I stuck around a couple of days to help them fill their tags in return for all of their help. When they left I went up on top to try to find some elk for the tag I bought in case I got this lucky but did not find any as I got out of there Thursday morning before all the snow hit (only 5-6 inches on the ground when I left at 8 AM)and pretty glad I did. Thanks again for all of your help and only hope I can draw the tag again sometime before I am unable to make it out there anymore. I enjoy all of the photos and success stories and finally have the opportunity to post one of my own.
P.S. This was only a line or two about the hunt so I don't think you will want to suffer through a short story that I might post later.
Thanks again
Dan
