Ryan, Mike & Pat- have a good trip guys.

Once you guys get back, we will return to our regularly-scheduled program, and refocus ontrophy whitetails. For now, we're all in elk mode and rooting for you fellas.

True story - I've beenthinking about you guys and this elk hunt so muchthat I almost purchased an few elk calls at Gander Mountain last Tuesday night, justbecause Ihad all these elk vocalizations in my head that I wanted to try. The wife saw me toting them around and gave me the "Scowl of Doom" (mostly because she knows thelife of torment that comes when I get a new turkey call that I just have to "try out"). Always one to pick my battles, I put my tail between my legs and hung them back up on the rack,keeping just a new limb saw and a new Energizer headlampin my cart. I lived to fight another day...
