Cut him some slack.  I noticed he's from Odessa and Deutschesfest was only a week and a half ago.  Last time I was there it took me a good month to get all my ducks in a row

Ok sorry to tell you the Internet at home is down so pics will have to wait but here is the story. It all started this spring when I got drawn on the multi-season elk. I was ecstatic a great opportunity to kill an elk just fell into my lap. Then special permits roll around and I made the choice to only put in for bull tags even though I had no real intention of getting drawn. Needless to say when I read the results and saw peaches ridge selected I went from being happy to cloud nine. It was a dream come true a chance to kill my first elk with my bow and a big bull at that.

The month of June was spent researching which trail cameras to buy and fine tuning my elk calling. The end of June meant time to put up cameras. My cousin and I went up knowing where we were going to put the first cam but had no clue on the other two. We spent most of the three day weekend hiking fighting the heat and Mosquitos. Seeing few elk we were kind of shooting in the dark as to where we hiked. We finally got them set and agreed on a two week set and see what we had and change batteries. I think he may have been more excited about seeing what was on them than I was. He took the first trip up to do more scouting and check cams. Well he came back with good news bulls lots of bulls. It was the same thing every time we checked them lots of shooter bulls for the next to months.

Ok well I have to go try and kill a deer before the sun goes down. Stay tuned I will be back with more of the story and hopefully some pics......
