Thanks it was very emotional for me. My 24 year old son remarked recently he has never been with me I got an elk which shocked me. At my age I knew it would a challenge to make it happen. He is having wrist surgery this morning and may lose mobility in his wrist. I feel blessed to have shared this harvest with him. I was proud of the prayer he said afterwards thanking the elk and the Lord for this harvest and memory. He showed great respect.

You are such a menace to wildlife.

Love those DARK horns.

I will pray for your boy.
