Well, after a busy couple weeks and alot of forgetfullness and procrastination on my part, I finally called Larry last night to talk some about our upcoming elk hunt........
Really looking forward to this hunt and the pics he posted a couple weeks ago really amped things up!
He talked a little about what to expect: how he'd be calling a bull up and steering him to me in regards to the wind, how the bull would come Screaming in :scared: , how to try to keep the nerves under control :eek: , and then making the shot-----the part that got me: " and that's all there is too it, no big deal"!! :smileystooges:
I'm really looking forward to this and could never repay his generosity, that's for sure!!
Well, I gotta get hiking---had to take 3 weeks off because of a foot injury---talk about lousy timing----and gotta get my edge back......
i'll be keeping "the gang" posted............

Your elk shot will be a lot closer than 10 yards, real easy to hit if you can keep from going catatonic when you are so close you smell him and his eyes are bugging out.
