Congrats, I did the same hunt in 2001, was a cool experience. Went through the whole orientation thing one day, rode around for the afternoon scouting locations for next day hunt. Picked location, loaded up gear and met fella that became hunting buddy, he stayed on valley floor and I climbed up on peak. Dropped off early and made it to location, right when sun peaked over horizon I spotted Elk on next peak at an unknown ungodly distance, couldn't tell whether it was cows or bulls. Waited for a long time for more light and decided it was cows, picked target, breathed and squeezed. Was blinded by flash in scope, 300 WM makes a heck of a flash in low light. Sat there and thought, did I miss, there were other cows at same range grazing. Chose to not take second shot at another cow, smart choice as chosen cow was down at location on other side of valley. Was a once in a lifetime experience in my mind, never forget it.
