thanks everyone it was an awesome experience and quite different from the country in the Pintler Wilderness we have hunted for 20 years for one we never used horses we always archery hunted and just backpacked, funny thing is we have always owed horses and just never took them, go figure i guess the age has caught up to us!

Great story. Very motivational for all of us to head for the high country.

Sounds like things got a little western. What an adventure. Congrats man, that is a great bull.

Man what a great adventure! Im sure with that Grizzly close by it helped to motivate you to quickly get that stuff up the mountain and packed out

 

[sjsmallfield]

What a great bull and a fantastic story as well. Congrats man!

 

[Anaconda Pintler]

You know fellas the Grizzly left the carcass quickly once he winded us and retrteated on his own accord so the whole situation wasnt quite as tense and it prolly could have been the only thing tense was the fact he stayed so close by just inside the green timber and was woofing and chomping his teeth, but again with 5 guys there to pack and supplu cover fire if needed helped the nerves somewhat

Anybody want to guess a gross score?

 

[tdub24]

Because he's broken, I'm thinking 318"?!

 

[dhershberger]

Great bull and a great story! Congrats!

 

[hvfd21walker]

That's a great bull! Way to go

 

[Engideer]

Great bull and a great story! That is the kind of thing that you will never forget! I'm glad it worked out well for you, and too bad you didn't get to take out any wolves! On the score, I am not great at guessing, but I am guessing 330-340. He looks to have great mass and long beams. Of course, the only thought you would have in your head when you see that elk is SHOOT!

 

[marcusvdk]

i would guess 325-330

 

[Anaconda Pintler]

the bull scores 372 the way he is and as close as we can guess he is missing about 8 inches of G4 that is gross score I feel like "nets" are for fishing! lol

 

[tdub24]

Very nice................I was WAY off! Congrats!

 

[Mountain Matt]
