Great storytelling.  This has me itching for September to get here.

Thanks for posting Bill. My first DIY Elk hunt coming up this September. This gave me additional drive and insight as to what's ahead. Your opening picture spoke volume's.

Congratulations on your beautiful bull. What an awesome story and very well told. Thank you for taking us along. This should be great motivation for this seasons upcoming elk hunters.

That was a great story...thank you!!

Thank you everyone for the kind words.  When I get some time I will share last years Nevada muley and elk solo hunts I went on.  

I will also post more on this thread about the equipment I used and other logistics that went into planning the hunt.  I still use most of what I used in this hunt but have improved a few things that have made for better hunts.
