Congratulations on a great buck!
The memories of the trip should make it taste even better when the snow is blowing outside and you set down to a meal. :D

Well Nog, you sure know how to do it right. Fantastic hunt, amazing recounting, first rate photos, great friends, and an awesome buck to boot.

You got there and back safely. Incredible hunt..........

These things don't just fall in your lap do they. Hard work and diligence contributes to all of em.

Well done buddy, well done.

Give your woman a kiss and a squeeze, and maybe she'll let you go again next year :)
Don't look at the antlers!! And don't look him in the eye!!

Thanks for all the kind words Folks! Appreciated!

Really Enjoyed this hunt! As Tough as it was, it was even more Fun to be out there amongst some Fantastic Critters with my Long Term Buddy!
Glad y'all enjoyed the Sharing...

LOL! After well over 30 years together, my Lady know much better than to question my hunting trips! Of course I more than make that up to Her when not hunting, guess that helps with the Approval Rate! :wink:

Getting almost close to being caught up! Got to wrap that up!
The Blacktails have gone into rut, and I NEED to get out there with them!!

Cheers,

I'll be wandering back over there for the late January Bull Elk Hunt, and of course in search of those Big Mulies next fall. Not too tough to figure why methinks... :wink:
