I've Done It Again - Utah Here I Come!

[Doc Nock]

You ARE one charmed, hunting fool, WHIP!

Along with the others, my congrats and tip of the hat for your luck

Livin La Vida Whipa!!

[Gatekeeper]

COOL! You're going to be busy this season.

[Greg Szalewski]

Good for you Joe!! So, what is the bow of choice? That shiney new one or one of the tried and proven veterans?

[Whip]

The shiny new one, of course!  
RER Vital pulls 55 @ my draw.       I'm really liking it and it has already moved to the front of the line.
The poor trusty Robertson is in the classifieds - need to raise some cash  

[Whip]

Mudd, as an alternate my name was next up on the list for a tag if one of the people who originally drew it turned it back in.  I had two days to decide if I wanted the tag or not, but once I called to confirm, it is mine.  
I didn't use the full two days to make up my mind    
Two hours was plenty.   :D

[cacciatore]

WOW Joe,have fun and good luck

[Greg Szalewski]

Well, PETA will be happy to hear that the Robertson is out of your hands after the trail of carcasses it left behind.

[Whip]

Greg, Greg, Greg....
It's not the bow      :D

[awbowman]

I'd go scout and cook for you Joe, but I would worry about what the weather would be like.    

[DarkTimber]

Well I'd say this makes up for not getting your Iowa tag...and then some!   Congrats.  Looking forward to hearing about it.

[screamin]

Lots of good info on that unit right here

I lot of good information but I do not agree with his assessment of the unit and the hunt.  There are lots of quality bulls in the unit but you have to find them.  Finding some local knowledge will go a long way to being successful.

[Steve Jr]

Good luck Joe. Looking forward to a good story after the hunt. Oh and maybe a elk burger at Compton  

[sagebrush]

I used to hunt there in the seventies. That's too long ago to give you useful info. And that was before I started hunting elk. I know the herd is pretty good sized down there now. I used to hunt on the Boobe hole. It is over the mountain from Johnson's reservoir. We used to see elk back then all the time. It is beautiful country. You are going to have a blast. Gary

[Homebru]

Ah, the Boobie hole.......Tom knows that place quite well.  As I understand, the Boobie hole is private land.  I could be wrong.

Whip!  Awesome news.  You r going to have quads of steel by the end of September...either that or by the last day  u will need Tom and I to carry your bow and carry you on our shoulders.        
Congrats!

[Whip]

How's that saying go?  What doesn't kill you makes you strong?  We will see how that turns out!!

Tom mentioned that he camped on the Boobie Hole, but I think Nate is right - that is on the private land.

Maps are ordered and the hard research begins!  I did have the name of the guy the did the story on MM, and had sent him a PM, but haven't heard back.  I hadn't seen that link to his story though - looks great!  I'm headed over there now for some bedtime reading....

[Mudd]

Thank you Whip for taking your time to explain to me how it works.

Congratulations again!!

Make it a hunt of a lifetime!

God bless,Mudd
