Haven't seen much about the work involved so a little advice,
Get in shape and be ready to work. Half the war is putting one of those big boys down. The 2nd is getting them out. If you have never shot a bull the shear size of cleaning one out will seem overwhelming. I remember the first I shot while alone and even having cleaned out a half dozen deer it shocked me. Also if your going to get out and not road hunt remember where you shoot them at you will have to get them out of. Plan on having to pack them a quater at a time, Save yourself some work if you have to pack and skin/debone them on the spot. That bones and hide is alot of weight and you cant eat it so leaving it will save a bunch of work.
Good luck on the hunt. Hopefully the big snows hit early for your hunt and so I cant get out on my sled early too!
