I like how this is starting! :campfire: :coffee:
Tt
This is going to be good.....
:campfire:
ALRIGHT!!! I've been wondering off and on for sometime about this continuing.
I'm in!

Count me in. I got my coffee cup filled and I'm ready for a good story.
Sounds good to me too.
For sure another great story is coming.
Almost like poetry...bring it on!!
Why are these not published? This is good writing!
Can't wait to read this one to the finish.
Glad to see a sequel. This is good.
Probably we should provide a link to part one for those who are new to the Monarch story. Can someone do that for me?
Thanks,
Joshua
Maybe this will help

The last one was so good I'm in for the duration on this one!
:campfire:
AAArrg! I just deleted the page I just wrote. Dang it!
Tt
Alright, it is on! Thank you so much for another great story.
Don't know how I missed the first story back in 2011 but read it all last night and was on the edge of my seat. Holy moly you are quite the wordsmith. Thanks for taking us along again.
jhg, I hope you are giving some serious thought to publishing some of these works if you haven't already.
Having never published a single sentence in my life, I know I'm not an authority on the subject, but I understand you can now "self publish" for relatively little cost and if it "catches on" on the internet, a publisher might be interested.
I know I sure enjoyed the first iteration of "The Monarch" and I will definitely be hanging on for the end of this one.
I too will be following the story! I have lost enough posts to often type what I want out on a word doc or sticky and then copy and paste into the post. That way I don't lose all that effort. I truly enjoyed your first one and can't wait for this one to play out. Thanks for your efforts to entertain "the gang"

The thing that I most appreciate about your writings is the quarries side of the story.
Not an aspect usually dwelled on to much by other authors but I enjoy it immensely!!!!!
Hunter and quarry, two separate lives till they meet one day :clapper:
I figured this might be coming! Thanks in advance for taking us on another journey.
Tt
:clapper: So far........so good!!
Tt
Here we go again, Josh. :)
I started cutting and pasting into a word document like before...
These are just too good... made good progress up to this point...
I'm going to enjoy this one too!
You are an awesome author!
I can wait for more!
Bisch
Everyone, the encouragement means a lot. Thanks for posting the kind words.
More tomorrow, then I scout elk over the weekend and gather more material for the rest of the story.
Joshua
Very good story Joshua. Again thank you for sharing it with us.
Good luck scouting this weekend. If you do happen to catch a glimpse of the Monarch, well cherish it while it last!
The rest of us will be waiting to read more when you return.
:campfire: :coffee:
What a great escape! Thank you for your well-rounded prose.

:biglaugh:
:campfire:
Great Read!!!! Thanks Joshua, hope you have a great Weekend to keep the fuel!
My computers down, but sit tight. I will be back with more and the hunt of The Archer's lifetime is about to begin...
Joshua, himself gunning for the Monarch this fall.

:campfire:
Patience my friends. Let our fellow hunter meditate and prepare himself as well as us for the adventure.
Talent takes time. Creativity takes contemplation.
And computers take an act of God! :scared: :eek: :saywhat:
:campfire:
:campfire:
Sorry everyone- my access is limited right now. Not trying to jack with anyone. I can't write here- its a library and I can't take enough time. The story is ready though. Be glad to get it out so I can think about other things... ;)
J-
Not impatient just showing our interest :saywhat:
:campfire:
:thumbsup: :coffee:
:shaka:
:pray:
Anyone know what happened to JHG
I'm itching for a good Elk Tail!!!!!
When I saw this back up, I was hopeful Ben got lined back out... his writing is quite good...
Sent him an email but if he's lost his computer then he likely quit his email provider. Last was Aug 2014.
I hope he's ok. He has talent...

Deadman Gulch. Some of the worst hell terrain any man might navigate after game. It had rock. It had narrowing canyons that ended in dead fall traps with no way out but back. There were avalanche chutes piled with rubble, back tracking game trails, hanging buttresses, scree, tangled timber stands and the most aweful kind of wind. Elk here tended to be smaller, but heavy bodied, their frames muscled, flesh annealed by an unforgiving country. But elk there were, and they were healthy.
Deadmans Gulch had made the Black Bull, perhaps the fiercest herd bull known but for the Monarch himself. A tough place in which to grow, a tougher place to prosper, Deadmans stunted, or it tempered. An animal thrived or it withered. There was no middle ground.

Oh ya, here we go!!!!!! :campfire:
Glad to see ya back :clapper:

Lots more to come but its almost the work week we will see if I can add to it before the next weekend.

Such a great read. Don't know how I missed the first back in 2011, but I read it yesterday and caught up on this one today. :campfire: :coffee:
Tt
