Gentlemen, good to hear and see all of the activity. Unfortunatley I had to come home "elkless"from my elk hunt but I will be going back in about a weekfor the last 10 days or so of the season when they are rutting. I am in an unfamiliar area and it is going to be tough to score on a nice bull but that is why they call it hunting. It doesn't mattter how tough it is, itis still a blast! [8D]

Greg, what can I say...I can onlyimagine the grief and the pain of your loss. Hopefully this season will turn out to be a special one for you and yours. We are all behind you buddy! Take the time to do whatever you have to do. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I will say that from the sound and looks of things you guys are hunting some "hammers"! In all honesty I haven't seen a good buck aroundmy areasince November of last year. There has to be some around, I just haven't seen them. I am way behind on putting my stands up and the clock is ticking. So I better get at it....
