I read this at 6:59 9-18-08.  If you had been standing outside, Whip, you could have heard my YAHOOOOOOOoooo!  Great story and trip!  Was like being there and like Charlie says "being there was good enough!"

Nice shot Joe. If elk had a twelve ring, you would have scored it. You did it just right and got to hunt every possible day of your trip. Well told and many congratulations. Good luck in BC and see you when you get back.

Perfect, Joe! The whole trip, the camp, the time alone with Irene, the oh-so-perfect shot on the cow, even the near-misses with the big boys make this a supper to be savored for a lifetime.

Congratulations on a trip for the books.

Congratulations, Joe. Thanks for sharing the hunt with all of us that couldn't actually be there. All that was missing during the story-telling was the smoke from the campfire and the stars overhead. Very nice!
