After packing up camp and heading down the mountain we had one more surprise.  Fellow Trad Ganger Julian Tisdale (Duckbutt) from South Carolina and his partner (sorry, I can't remember his name) were sitting in their truck on the side of the road trying to figure out where they were.  They had drawn tags for the second hunt in the same area, and were on their way in to camp.  

Julian and I had talked and emailed back and forth prior to the trip, but had never met.  Julian recognized my truck and Wisconsin plates and flagged us down as we were driving past.  

What a pleasure it was to meet Trad Gang brothers and share stories.  I only wish we could have had more time.

 

Thank you to everyone for all of the kind comments and support.  Believe me, I do know and appreciate how fortunate I am to have taken a trip like this, and I really enjoy sharing it all with you.

Joe,
You done good, real good!  
Your recounting of the hunt is an instant classic.  Thanks for taking the time to tell it and letting us relive it with you.

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Outstanding, Joe!  Congratulations, brother.  That story would fit very nicely in the PBS magazine...
Hope to see you this fall somewhere but definitely at WTA.

Great story telling.
I could smell the canvas, Imagine the fires, feel the thermals, I cringed at the barks, had to laugh with you at spike encounter (having been there), and rejoiced at the making of meat!!!

Thanks for taking us along!

Joe,
Congrats on a great hunt and a wonderful story. I enjoyed every minuet. The Pics were outstanding also. Thank you so much for sharing. One of my dream hunts is Elk, but because of health reasons will never get to hunt the high country.
