We loaded Jeff's duffel in the back of my Expedition and quickly set off for points west. We had a couple of hours drive to Big Timber and we passed the time talking about our pets, our families, and the interesting and remarkable relationships we had forged around contacts originally made on Tradgang. The time passed quickly as we chatted and talked about the individual journeys that lead us to traditional archery and that had eventaully brought us to Montana to hunt the West Boulder. For Jeff, it was an opportunity to test his readiness for more strenuous trips to the mountains and to spend time with his good friends, Doug and Karen Campbell. For me, it was a chance to experience Montana and meet some new friends. And for both of us, the hunt was a great excuse to give to St. Jude's, an organization created to soothe the fears and frailties of one of societies most vulnerable populations...sick children.
