Corey, Thanks, I truly apprecieate the kind words and the offer, I just may take you up on it. gselkhunter has given all of us an insight in what to expect in the big leauges and it too has been very helpful, I'm sure I can speak for all of us.

It's good to talk to guys who've been there, this way we can better prepare ourselves, just like elk hunting. Heck, we all want to be the best we can be!!!

For those of you unsure of who Corey Jacobsen is, he's the 2004 World Champion Elk Caller! I guess he's just to humble to come right out and say it, hope he doesn't mind me cluing you in! <grin>

You all should know he's not only a great caller of Elk, but a great human being as well. I say this from personal experience. Last year he offered his time and money to help out a young man who was going in for surgery on a very rare brain tumor, Corey was one of the few who stepped forward to offer his personal assistance to show up at hunting camp to aid this young man in any way he could, be it packing meat or calling, he just wanted to help. As the story & hunt unfolded this was this young fellas one wish that he wanted fullfilled in case he didn't survive the surgery, that is to hunt elk with a bow, little did he know it would be with the very best! My hat goes out to Corey for the type of individual who was touched and responded to such an ordeal.

Thought I'd let you know what kind of person he is other than an awesome Caller!
