Fell asleep reading this last night, just shy of the end. Glad you got it done, I knew you would just by reading and how you wrote the story.

Thanks for sharing, and congratulations.

Bill, I love the Gila and for the first time in 5 years will not be hunting it this year, but this story brought back a lot of fulfilling memories of that place for me.  Awesome story thanks for sharing!

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.

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.
