Thank you.  The bonds of fathers sons and elk are tough to put into words, but you did it in a spectacular fashion.

I hope you get that bull.  I'm sure your dad will lend a helping hand, but nonetheless he'll be watching over you.  Good luck.  The Teanaway is my favorite place to hunt.  I have come across a plack in the northfork on a sandstone rock, a memorial of a man that roamed those hills, I believe his son put that plack there in his memory.  Everytime i look around those mountains I wonder how many people have been influenced in a great way by those mountains.  I cherish every moment i have in the Teanaway with my Dad because who knows when he wont be able to hunt up there.

Damn my eyes are leaking. I lost my Dad at 24 and your story brings back lots of memories that linger on the edge now. My 9 year old son started hunting this year and I am rejuvinated to be building memories such as yours with him. Have a great hunt and enjoy your time with your memories. Beautifully written, and I agree it deserves to go in "Best Of".
