One shout out that I really need to give, is to at @fisheral87. He put his elk hunt on hold when he called me down to look at the other buck that was right below him. I never would have shot the buck that I got if he hadn't done that.

Now, not that he didn't owe me, after I took him into my black tail spot last year, and he shot an absolute monster, but this means that we're square now!

He also put Dad's elk hunt on hold but I don't think he cared much!

Beautiful deer and country. Love the fall colors at your camp. Hope the knee gets better. You'll want to go back I'm sure.
