Excellent trip Sherpa, very much enjoyed the read. Really an education in itself for new/1st timers. There's a LOT of valuable info and do's/don'ts in your pics and postings.
I hope you continue to post these fine extended writeups.

David,
Sorry to hear about your knee. 95 pounds is a bunch but a good llama can handle it for a ways. I have found that at 60-70 pounds the llama will wear down about the same time that I do. More than that and they wear down quicker if we are going uphill. They can do good with 90+ for 6 miles going downhill if they know they are going home. We packed in with no more than 50 pounds and I think they could carry that all day every day. I give out long before they do at that weight.
I used to hunt solo but took up a partner to appease my wife. Best thing I ever did. I might have had trouble staying motivated on this last trip if I were going it alone.
Good luck with the knee.

Great story and photos, sorry I missed them earlier. For the first time, I was watching two rutting bull elk about 6 miles in from the truck and talked myself out of going after them. I am seriously considering pack animals, and need to decide soon between horses, mules and llamas. I like to hunt solo for the freedom it provides, but it has its limitations once an animal is down.
That sure was a nice bull you killed! Sorry that you and the llamas took a beating.

Target archery is seeing how far away you can get and still hit the bull's eye. Bowhunting is seeing how close you can get and never miss your mark.
