Cape sold to Hoots taxidermy in pateros, head up near havillah at skull mtn taxidermy, time to join my parents at elk camp! :hello: see you soon, Hunt-Wa!
I am not opposed to golf, for I suspect it keeps armies of the unworthy from discovering deer.

Congrats! Jeff and I wondered if you got the big boy. We went looking for you on Friday afternoon and ran across another hunter who said you got him at around 0800. He gave us rough directions on where you were parked, but we didn't find your rig. We figured you must've got him packed out and heaed for home. So stoked you got him...........he's an absolute stud!

I have to say it was a pleasure meeting you. Both Jeff and I are VERY impressed that you took on the task of going after a moose on your own. It was obvious that you're a very accomplished hunter who holds the utmost of respect for the game you hunt. 

On a side note, Jeff got his deer on Friday evening. A respectable 3 point whitetail............his first with a muzzleloader also.

Hope to cross paths in the woods again one day.
