Monday we spent de-boning the meat, freezing it, and figuring out how to get it home. It took us all morning. In the afternoon Keith started packing the car, I helped Karen clean up the back straps and hanging loins from their elk, and Bill had to work. It was good to take the extra day to finish up.

Tuesday morning we finished up packing the car and left by about 10:00. We took the West Yellowstone route back to Roundup. It had been a long time since we had been in West Yellowstone; it was a beautiful day and drive. It also brought back fond memories of our skiing days when we went through Big Sky, MT.
CO's comments: All the meat is cut, ground, wrapped and in the freezer. It took us 4 days and we are glad that job is done. Just think about it; how many times in a life time can two hunting partners each shoot a 5 x 5 elk on the same morning.
