Thanks for sharing my friend... Sounds like some great comradery along with lifetime friends made. I miss the mountains, I have to I don't miss 10,000 feet, lol.

Congrats on a great hunt once again. You definitely have the G0-Gettum attitude which often translates to a successful hunt.

Your writing skills equal your hunting abilities. You, my friend should write a book. I would be honored to buy the 1st signed copy.
