Bobby, I also love it when students contact me after the season and let me know of thier success. I tell my studend to feel free to contact me and let me know good or bad how they did thier first year. Becase most students we teach are going after elk, few are successful their first year out. Also I do make an offer in every class to my students. That if they are not hunting too far from my home (within a half day drive being the limit). And by chance if they happen to wound and loose an animal, but have found blood that is from the chest cavitly. Then I will go with them and help them try to find it if I am able to. Thankfully for the sake of the animal and the new bowhunter, I have not been taken up on that offer yet. But I have had students call me up and ask if I could come hunting with them and call for them. I tell them "thanks but no, but I will try and teach you how to use elk calls". Last year about 10 of our students were friends and they invited me over to one of thier houses and we all learned and practiced our elk calling a bit. It was a lot of fun. Jason
