Thanks for all the kind comments everyone.  When I first joined this site Doug (Boneaddict) told me in a post that "I try to treat this site like our own exclusive hunting magazine.  If you have an adventure that you think folks would like to do, write about it."  I try to do that whenever I can. This is such a great community to share with. 

Except elk tags in the Blues. >:( 

All the elk in the Blues are dead.

Apply for the Colockum.

At the risk of derailing my own thread, I think it is important to note that it is already common knowledge that Bigfoot ate all of the elk in the Blues.
It's true.
Look it up.

Go ahead and apply for the colockum But the big feet have moved up here and eaten all of the true spikes so when you don’t draw that quality tag don’t bother coming because there are no legal elk around for the rest of us common tag holders. I totally understand putting in for the highly sought after areas, I do not understand traveling across the state in droves to chase the handful of legal elk that are actually out there. They have affectively bred/hunted the true spike genetics out of the colockum heard. Definitely see way more crowned three and four point one year-old then True spikes .
Sorry, let’s get back on track now. You’ve taken both boys up now. Is the next trip with a friend, the wife, etc.?

If I ever hunt Alaska again (which I hope to), it will be for moose.  Waaaay more money for one of those drop camps.
The long pole in the tent (the thing "holding everything up" if you've never heard that Army term) is that being a teacher, it's darn near impossible to take off 10 days in a row after the first of September.  Even if I figured out how to afford it, the length of time it takes to kill a moose might keep me out of this game until I retire...

Great hunt and write up! Well done pathfinder clan!
It is foolish and wrong to mourn these men.  Rather, we should thank god that such men lived.  -General George S. Patton
