  • Dan and I venture deep into the Wyoming Wilderness and I harvest my first Wyoming bull. Another mature six point down for me, and a close encounter with a Boar Grizzly. Join us for this incredible hunt!

    Who was the packer and at what price? Did you have options?

      We got ahold of the outfitter in there, he charged me $600 to bring it out on their supply run. There likely would’ve been other options if it wasn’t opening weekend. I’m not sure he wants his info out though (might be bad for his outfit if he’s helping everyone in the public).

    You're kidding yourselves if you really think a grizzly couldn't get your meat out of that scraggly little tree. Consider yourselves extremely lucky a bear didn't find it before you got it out.

    • @Beaverhead_Antlers
      @Beaverhead_Antlers  5 місяців тому

      I’m sure one could’ve gotten it, where we packed it, it was the only tree we could even get it into. I agree, not ideal. Still better than leaving it at the kill site or on the ground. It was only in that tree for ~24 hours before it was shuttled to somewhere safe. Didn’t have a choice.
