No idea on the meat yeild.  I did leave a front shoulder in Colorado with my poor, young, starving nephew.  I would guess the total is somewhat similar to a bull elk.  A cow bison probably weighs more, but there is a lot of head, hide, and big bones in that pile.  

I am doing a european mount of the skull, and will have the hide tanned with the hair on.  She was a beautiful animal.  I wish that I had a place for a full shoulder mount, but I hope these turn out good.

Mr. Whip Lash! My, my...what a difference a year makes, eh?

I recall your angst here seeking guidance and suggestions when the letter came.  Saw later you made the decision to "GO FOR IT!"

What a wondrous experience you made of it.  Takes the right person to be tent-bound for 3 days on a once-in-a-lifetime hunt and remain positive. I'd expect no less from your positive minded self!

Congrats of course! What a treasure for having taken a risk! You are a blessed man.

Next you'll have to do a Charlie Lamb Book! You have grand tales to tell of your hunts!

Joe, GREAT job on the hunt, and on the adaptations you made to put it all together.  The outfitter sounded wonderful, but the hunt was all you in the end!  Fine job of documenting and telling the story.  It was like being there... without getting so cold!   :saywhat:

Congratulations!!!!!   :archer:
