Title: First year missed..
Post by: rosscrazyelk on October 26, 2013, 08:12:13 AM: This is the first opening day of modern elk that I have missed .. baby is 5 days late. The wife says if she comes before the season end I can get out. :tup: yes she is a keeper.
Good luck to all.

Told me to go kill something So I went after some ducks. While I was there for the call. Been at the hospital since 6pm My new hunting partner is almost here

I'm sure that Woody and the guys are missing you but what you have going on right now is well worth missing a season.
your little hunting buddy will be tagging along with you in no time
get ready for the rush of a lifetime. That big bull may have got you excited but this will be your true trophy.

congratulations to you and your wife

Mitch

It killed me not going but now he is all dressed in camp with me asking "daddy shot that elk." Congrats to u and your wife hope all goes well.
