Gaur:
Thanks guys. It was a special hunt that I had been dreaming about and planning for a few years. Had to put it off a year or two as we took on adopting our Thai son and we had to wait 2 1/2 years to get that all completed in Thailand.
I was butchering my elk, struggling a bit to get the big legs up. I kept thinking Dave should be here any minute. Every once in a while I'd hear a cow call and I thought it was Dave calling looking for me and I would whistle back. I got pretty covered with blood and moved the game bags down to where I had shot the elk. I took my first load back to camp about 2:30 pm. I got there and found a note saying Greg had also shot a bull 1 mile from camp and higher up than mine and Dave had gone to help him with his. He also said my gps coordinates were wrong and it put my kill 27 miles away. Later we figured out there was a missing decimal point when he put it in.
I headed back for my second load. Mine was 0.6 miles West of camp and not real difficult hills to climb over.
When I got back to camp Dave and Greg were there with their first load.
Greg and I with our elk shot 10 min apart 1.6 miles away from each other.
