Mike another wonderfully written story with pix to support...awesome!

Looks like your wife is a fan of her KUIU...very cool!
Get a picture of her up on the "in the field" section of the KUIU site bud...

Ahhh Curt, you read my mind. "The Boogieman" has moved to a little bedding area next to a corn field I can hunt. Everyone around has seen him so I gotta be real lucky.

Woke up thinking about that giant mulie this am. So close to killing him   :banghead:  Someday, someday...

Hey Mike, great hunt and story! We never have to kill to have had a really good hunt!

I am still in in camp in southwest CO. The elk hunting here is pretty tough as I am in an over the counter unit. I was lucky and was able to kill a cow yesterday morning though. Have had a few UBI members here and expect a couple more next week.

Good luck with the whitetails next month. We will be home about Oct. 23rd. My wife is having a hip replacement in Phoenix, AZ on Oct. 10th.

Bill congrats my friend! A cow anywhere is a trophy and a cow on Public-OTC is even better. Way to go   :notworthy:  

Tell your wife Get Well from the Davenports. AZ is a good place to get new titanium. Better watch it, she'll be walking your legs off a month later. We will catch a cheeseburger at the 'Lil Red Barn soon pal.

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.

Great read.
Shame you never got a shot opportunity, but those close encounters are sometimes better than ending it with an arrow.

Glad you're back and had a good hunt.  Not sure how I missed this until today though.  Great pics Bud, but next time,, fewer Yeti shots, more pretty lady shots.  ;)
