[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2655372, member: 63925"] I did kill a 5x5 bull on a ridge so steep you had to traverse tree to tree in 8-10" snow. My guide lifted head up and bull started to slide down ridge with him on it.!! He jammed rack into ground and yelled for rope to tie him off! I was able to do that ok without myself going down hill as well. We quartered him by me holding his belt and rope at same time! It was one heck of time getting pack mules within couple hundred yards but they did. The ride back to camp was 2+ hours in dark, no moon, just starlight on snow. Most beautiful adventure ever riding up on elk in dark, barking at you, no wind still as can be. Horses breathing, leather creaking and night sounds at 9K ft. My guide said there is tiny spot where I might get signal, when we got there, he said now, hit send, connected to my wife for maybe 5 seconds. All she heard was I am fine killed 5x5. Didn't talk for another 3 days when down off mtn. The stars were crystal clear and maybe 10 degrees. Something you will never forget. BTW prob classic elk load; 300WM, 200AB @ 2950. DRT. [/QUOTE]
