Hunt with the wife. I would never turn down time with mine. But I get hardly any to begin with.
Not for self, but for country

Well, I'm starting to think the wife might have a boy friend!  She just told me, "I think you should go to Utah and kill a big bull."

Then again she may just think, with my health, the altitude and hard hunting just might kill me.  Between selling the business and cashing in the life insurance she'd be set big time!!  I'm getting a little more nervous every day! :chuckle:

Could also be "Melon Head".  I don't think she wants me to tag him.  My family gives me crud all the time for being second fiddle when it comes to monster bear.  She likes it when they say, "So when are you going to kill a bear as big as your wife's?  Aren't you suppose to be the big bad bear guide? - hehe giggle giggle"  Bast***s!!

You need a caller for your elk hunt? I'm no Jason phelps or joel turner behind a bugle but I can probably call you in a trophy spike.

So you are thinking the wife would let you go?  Sounds like you might be needing to worry about boyfriends too :chuckle:

Aren't elk there every year too?

Poor little antelope.  No wonder tags are so easy to get.  They get no respect :chuckle:

Go Antelope hunting.  You have killed plenty of elk.  You two deserve a trip together killing some critters.  I will come down for the week and fill orders and ship them out before I head out elk hunting.

You live with Mama and just get offered crazy hunts with the group.  Who butters the bread and will your wife be welcome to attend the hunt in Utah?

Yes that makes you weird!!! :chuckle: please pass my name on if you don't go on the elk hunt!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How much money do you have?  I hear there is one more tag available!! :tup:  I think I heard that tag is going for $9,000.  I believe that's about $5,000 less than the going price in the area.
😳those tags are that much and you could hunt it for free?  In the words of Kramer from Seinfeld- "I'm out"! 
“In common with”..... not so much!!

Well, after talking it over with the wife I've chosen to take the tag.  So it looks like I will be headed for Utah in late September.  No guide or outfitter was the deal maker!  Just myself, one on one, against the bulls just the way I prefer it.  Good industry folks of quality character as camp mates too!  One of them is young with a strong back  :IBCOOL: :chuckle:  Too bad it's not a muledeer hunt, but those don't come around that often.

In return I'll give the wife first crack at Melon Head.  Man, that ones going to hurt >:( >:(

Maybe I should have researched a little more :o

Just found out camp is going to be at just over 9,800'.  Wholly thin air lung busters.  That's more than two thousand feet higher than where I hunt Mountain Goats in BC.!!  Wife very well could be trying to collect that life insurance :tung:

Sounds awesome!  I meant antelope are almost available every year OTC.  This elk oppty sounded much less a certainty every year.  ;)
