Fine hunt and alot of memories there. Back up all your digital pics to CD and store them away, you'll want to show them to your kids one day. One thing's for sure, thems' hosses especially compared to what we have to hunt around here. Congrats JR.

jrgriggs; tell us about what happen after you shot those magnificent animals. How did you get them back to the house? The skinning , cutting up and packing to take home.

hey ga spur well getting these animals to the lodge was no simple task. on the first day my grandpa shot and it was like 11:00 when he shot. and we spent like 2hrs cleaning and quartering him no big deal rite but how are we supposed to carrying these 100 lb quaters out so the guide called 2 4wheelers to help us because he shot like 2 miles from the road so we got in the truck add that was that. on mine it was easy i shot in a field so we drove up to him after gutting cause we wanted the cape the we winched him into the bed and quarted him after dinner. my dads was the same but i will always remember these times in my memory and i cant wait to do it again hopefully
