Thanks for all the kind words everyone , it was a fantastic trip with many fine times had. I have answered all PMs about the trip and am happy to do so , the long and short of doing a trip like this is just be prepared in advance. The cost is not bad prob under $1500 total ( not counting gear ) but if you shop around and also buy used gear it ain't that bad. And get in good physical shape well before your trip and all will be fine. I think the mental game gets to more people than anything else just always try and stay positive and it will happen ( maybe not this trip but it will happen , the odds are not in your favor on a DIY public land hunt , but the hunt is what you make of it ). Anyway I would love to do another but it might be a while as I will be looking into other species for my future hunts I have the wants to see new animals and lands. I am glad to help anyone plan and prepare for a backcountry adventure......

I plan to get out there next season, time to start accumulating the necessary gear. Can't do 20 days like you but so my chances will be more limited due to shorter time to hunt but hopefully I'll get a shot. I had a feeling you'd get it done, I've read so many threads where the guys zero'd out this year, it was great to see you pull off th DIY elk score.

SportHunter I shot my bull on day 8 and my buddy Don shot his cow on day 2 , so you never know. I am fortunate enough with my job where I can take off for many days for a hunt....

Huntnmuleys it don't make a hill of beans , your bull is an outstanding animal and I would have him grace any room in my house. One of these days I will get me a true giant and if not I'm ok with that also. Just the thrill of the hunt drives me on I'm just eat up with it. I need to get with you about a hunt in your beautiful state ( never hunted Wyoming just looking for info ) I have driven through it many times. I love reading about your hunts your the real deal sir...

Sam,

Well done, congratulations on a nice bull.

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.
