Elk have pretty much run my life for the last two decades. I got a BS Resorce Conservation from the U of M because I wanted to work around elk. Worked for the RMEF part time when I was in college. Started a biz so I could make enough to take the fall off and elk hunt, then started guiding elk hunters, then bought an outfitting biz. Until you have been atop the peak on a pony in September watching the sun set to the chorus of a bugling bull, you havn't lived.
