Dan,

I am going to get the deer mounted. I didn't see any elk, but I did get about 50 pigeons. A new all time best.

The deer skinned out just fine, and I got a prize. The bullet! The bullet clipped the shoulder blade, went through three ribs, got both lungs, a small piece calved off and went into the gut, but the rest of the bullet, about 400 grains worth, was lodged just outside of the ribs and under the hide on the far side. It is my second bullet I've recovered.

Both boys have ear infections today, so we are goiong to the doctor, and then heading out for a hunt.
