Thanks Paige!

It took me a week to recuperate from a long month of elk escapades! I hunted my butt off right up until the final minutes of the archery closer last Wednesday. I made a bold move late in the afternoon on the 30th that almost had me in the chips, but I got caught moving too fast in a mad dash...

Pooped puppies are the best kind:).

Thank you!

Right now my plan is get up there tomorrow afternoon and observe from mid-slope for the evening. If a shot presents its self then that's great but the objective of the mission is to gain information. Monday after work I'll head up there and spend the night so I'll be right there Tuesday morning...

Well I appreciate that!

If only you could attach sound to a photograph… When I snapped that picture, I was just a few minutes, and about 200 yards below where I had parked my rig. I didn’t know it at the time, but the first bull of the morning was about to pipe off. He was across the canyon and above my elevation...

Lock has played on mostly crappy teams in the past...at least bad offensive units. The QB position is probably the hardest position to judge when he's part of a bad unit. Now Lock is on a good team.

Well thank you! I really enjoy writing. My dad’s first career was as a journalist. I probably got a little bit of that bug from him.

In full disclosure, I haven’t used Trout Routes because I already have OnX for hunting. OnX owns Trout Routes so the mapping is very similar. My buddies who use Trout Routes and OnX say that Trout Routes is better for fishing because it has some specific features the hunting app doesn’t.
