Describing our group as a motley crew would be an understatement. As we began this hunt, we had three functioning legs and two working arms among us. Jim had undergone major foot surgery in the spring and had broken his humerus in August. I had dislocated my right shoulder just two weeks prior. I was already taking two mules that we could barely saddle, let alone lift meat onto their backs. The day before the hunt, my friend Jaxon asked if he could join us with his two horses. Of course, I said yes, not realizing that he would be spending time with two gimps.
To sum it up, Jim ended up shooting a great bull, we faced a few horse mishaps, and we had a loooong walk in the dark. The young buck, Jaxon, really helped us out. Despite the challenges, we learned a great deal about packing mules and horses, and ultimately, I had a fantastic time in the mountains with great people, hunting elk. @Jim Carr @ShootOkHuntWorse @robby denning
