Chef

Can't wait!

Congratulations to both of you! Looks like you guys took care of business for sure.

I could go for some fried chix from Mrs Whites.

I got back from her camp yesterday to a BUSY work schedule. I spoke with her again after her morning hunt today and she got into them pretty good. No shot was taken but I have a good feeling she will be flingin' an arrow soon. The rut is sloooooooowwwwwllllyyyy swinging into a slllloooooowwww start. She is grinding through and hunting hard every day. I will let her tell the story on her hunt when she gets back. I am one of you guys waiting for good news now too!

Sounds like a nice time was had. Much congratulations on a nice one! Plus you can always remind your son just where he was when he turned one year old!

Great looking bull! Much congrats on your first elk.

Awesome story, great pictures, fantastic bull! I loved the cat!!

Much Congrats!

BTW...those bone in ribeyes look gooood! ...

Casey, Next time, fillet the thing along the backbone. You will see you get nice long strips. Like DB said, batter and fry. It comes out very delicious served with any sauce you like for dipping. Nice to see you tried it though.

That's a great bull! 23 has got some nice ones. I think it's a pretty under rated unit IMO. Congratulations!

Doug, much congrats on your success! Too bad the buck you were after was taken. You still did real good! I know you were exhausted when you got back home too. Just makes for better memories. Congratulations again.

Well, I'm back to the daily grind of work. (for now) I will be heading over again to help at the end of the week. Stan, it was great to meet you as well. You are a mighty fine guitar picker and you definitely made the campfires that much more enjoyable! I hope you can make it up again. What Stan said about the rut being SLOW was right, and unfortunately that carried over to Sunday. I believe it will kick in later on in the season. These bulls needed A LOT of persuasion to let us know where they were. We did get into a big herd bull yesterday morning. Once he started bugling he was very vocal and answered my calls on a dime. They were moving fast though and although we paralleled for over a mile, we couldn't close the deal. Amanda did get within 100 yards of him partially seeing his rack but them elk can climb faster than us! Amanda is hitting it hard. She will do what she needs to do to close the deal on the big boy. She's a 'bonified' bugler now too! She has been a great host and camp chef as well. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to tag along. The weather is still pretty warm and the forecast shows it staying that way. The moon is full and bright too. It's still better than work. I wish I was still up there. ...to be continued...next week?...

Better you than me bro...better you than me. Seriously though, no I've never had the urge to do that to myself.

That's a pretty cool trophy! You should mount it with a replica!

Gorgeous buck! Congrats to you guys on your success.

Awesome! Hopefully someone can help with the video stills!

I'm just waitin' on you bud.

VIVA McCAIN / PALIN !!

You should try a peep sight rear and a firefront sight. It does real good set up that way. You could also add a scout scope set up. I have the following set up on my Marlin .444 and it works great for me. I also have it set up with the quick release weaver rings and it holds zero every time. http://www.gunblast.com/AO_Leupold.htm

DUUUUUUUUUUUDE!!!!! What a write up! I was wondering when you would finally show back up! We've been busy back here. Some bruisers have been taken during the archery hunts already and the Governor's tag holders certainly put the smack down on another great bull and a couple awesome mule deer bucks. I can't wait for the black continent man!

Will be taking my yearly trip down to Yuma. Head out later today.

Crazy! Too bad you didn't get a shot opportunity!

"I Won't Quit You"

Nice one for sure. The one behind him shows promise too.
