Great story.  I have some of the best memories of me and my dad in the woods as a kid.  This story hit home.  My dad was involved in a logging accident 20 years ago that should have killed him but he survived.  It was right around the time when a young boy is taught to hunt by his dad.  He told me he was sorry a few years after the accident that he was never able to take me hunting and do the things that we once did.  

Even as a kid, I understood how much it means for a dad to teach his son the way of the woodsman.  Those times spent in the woods will never be forgotten, and I know that they are as special to him as they are to me.

Awesome Randy!

Your dad and Mark were about the first folks I met when I moved to that country. Your family is great! I have many good memories from some good times with you all. You people are awesome!

Thank you,

Tracy

Great story Randy .... a wonderful moral to the story. Take a young man hunting and teach him the finer lessons of life.

Geez, I had to finish reading. Good story and good point. You are right, it's about memories and camaraderie. Killing is about killing, and we have butchers to do that for us now days.

Excellent story!  Neither my dad nor my brother bowhunts.  I often wish they did so that we could have experiences like that.  Good stuff.

Very true, good read. Some of my best hunts were with my Dad, Brother and friends. Many a time we did not fill our tags but had an awesome time.

Larry and Randy - I had to re-read the story....for the third time!

Not only do you guys live in great country......you truly get it!

Thanks for sharing your great family stories and adventures.  I haven't been in elk country since 1995.......I live to hear everyone's elk stories....both successful and unsuccessful.  I admit to sneaking a peak every year at the large photo of Randy's bull in his avatar.  That and all the stories posted this time of year will keep me somewhat satisfied until the next time I can get to the mountains and chase those fine creatures.

Thanks!

I have not changed my perspective in the least. In Fact it has been fine tuned even more.

Some of my finest memories a field have been scouting and not hunting really at all.  

I am happy to be surrounded by other people who "get it"
