Quik- It was my pleasure assisting those guys elk hunting. I love calling elk, and I get particular enjoyment out of watching someone hear a bull return a bugle for the first time. Ryan and Mike picked up on spot and stalk hunting fairly quick. I did have to tell them to slow down a bit though. Being used to getting to a stand quickly, it took them some adjustment to the slow pace of sneaking in on a herd of elk.

I don't believe Ryan had broken anything when I left. There is one "electronics" story that needs telling though. Ryan and I stopped at a scenic spot for a Kodac moment. Ryanpulled out his digital camera to snap a shot. When he did, the camera made a dog bark sound. "Darn it" Ryan said, " My girlfreind programmed my camera to bark when it takes a picture". it made for a good laugh both on the hill and back at Troys duringdinner.
