Awwww, thanks Wayne. Careful or it might get as deep as that bear scat in your driveway. Welcome aboard everybody. Boy, this is getting to be a popular place. It' s kinda like Cheers, and Wayne' s like Coach.

Boy I tell ya, after this past weekend chasin' elk in the Taneum with a smoke pole, you may not want to hear anything I' ve got to say since I had to eat my COW TAG. And certainly not if you' re under age. When I make my weapon selection next time, I' ll damn sure check the moon phase. We didn' t see anything except chipmunks during the daytime. Had 7 different bulls bugling around camp at night, but couldn' t get on anything after legal shooting time. I had to head back Monday afternoon for some home projects, and wouldn' t you know Ma Nature decided she' d have a laugh at my expense. Tuesday the temps dropped and rain moved in. Snow level yesterday was 4,000 feet, and my best spot is at 4,700. Dammit![:@] Late season muzzleloader spots suck for east side tags, so I guess I' m done for the year.
