We really had a great time with Troy and Dee. Very good people to say the least!!It didn't take long to see why Troy is such an accomplished hunter. I am not in his league at all. I am really looking forward to our elk hunt with Troy in 08 to see hiscountry and spend more time with him. The elk and getting to meet Rybowill be icing on the cake.

After getting to meetTeeJay and now Troy... they really made our summer. Thanks to HNI as it wouldn't have happened otherwise. This is a great site with great people using it. I look forward to meeting others someday and continuing my friendship with these two great guys.

The 4x5 was a great buck but Troy didn't mention that of all the bucks we saw, he is a rariety. This booner buck that I am postingis more the norm and he's got my name on him for the contest. I shouldn't show it as I don't want everyone flocking to my state thinking there is one behind every tree ( ) but I feel I can trust my fellow HNIers and you deserve the truth!!!
