We just finished up with a group of Outdoors International Idaho elk hunters who had a great hunt out of the lodge. Right after that we did our last elk hunt in the Idaho Wilderness, again with an Outdoors International hunter. We parked at our high base camp and bivvy out up No Tellum’ Creek. Remember that bow hunt with Jason, Brian and Steve? Threw caution to the wind and headed back into that country on this one and it paid off big time. I hadn’t even been in there in over a year.
This sucker is a toad. Packed this SOB out on my back, five trips total on my EXO pack, 1,000 vertical up, 1,000 vertical down and about 5-6 miles per round trip. Feeling it today, but this is a real deal bull. Cut his tracks early in the snow, was freaking cold up there. All our food and water froze solid, even in the cooler. Had to thaw it out by the fire. Hammered him at 109 yards with a .308. There was another bull with him, but we never saw him, only his ghostly tracks through the burn.
NOTE: Our last trophy hunter killed about a 335 inch bull as well. Hammering down!

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.
This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.Oliver Fischer
The outfitter handled everything perfectly.
We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.Thank you, Stan Masneri
What an amazing experience!
The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!Scott Navares

Love the 2nd photo for 3 reasons – the size of the bull, the span of them horns and the scenery in the background – strikingly beautiful!
Joe,
Yes, it’s a great bull and a very cool pic. Thanks for the comment.
