NO DOUBT!!!!... and deservingly so!

Great job Wyatt.   :thumbsup:  

I hope you know how envious the rest of us are... To have the chance to share a campfire with Ray, Mike, and Lin...? together?... all in the same place... at the same time???

Congratulations Sir,

Ron

Great job Wyatt!

These stories are killing me. My group will be at Ray's end of Feb. I'm ready to go now!

I talked a lot about the hunting, which was great, but I must mention that Ray and Mike were more like old friends than hosts. The early morning wake ups, the delicious meals, the joking around, all made us feel comfortable and welcome. If you go, you'll see what I mean.

Thank you Ray. Thank you Mike. Lin

Lin you just have to promise to keep practicing and bring that young-un back to get some more and bigger ones...I see many animals in his future!

We've created a hunting monster!!!!!!!!

Really enjoyed our time together and hope you will come back.
