You spin a fine yarn. On my first Elk hunt this fall I know this will be in the back of my mind.....

Ahhhh, yeas... a student of the infamous Charlie Lamb style of story-telling!

Met a few such folks as ole Husky in the years I lived in MT... what national treasures some of them are if you could get them to share all....

Great story! Chapters are a little short though

Keep em coming!

Sorry folks and thanks for being patient. It takes time to write and I don't have a lot of that.

Besides, we have all summer...

all summer.......oh come on now, dont know if I can take that kind of suspense! Hire out the honey do list, send the kids to grandmas, and lock the doors!

Got me hooked, love the inclusion of the daughter.

Gee, too bad Joshua dind't start this well before the St. Jude's Auction...after he got us all hooked, he could've raised a bunch of cash for the kids SELLING us the Paul Harvey, "Rest of the Story!" :D

I'll quote someone of yore on here (their's was a reference to waiting 2 yrs for a custom bow, but it fits) and I'll say, "when it comes to waiting for the story to unfold thru the summer: "I'm too old to wait, I won't even buy green bananas anymore!"

I never thought of that. The outline and general idea of this story was conjured up while elk hunting last year, so it has pretty much been ready to be written since the season ended. I honestly never thought anyone would be that interested/hooked on anything I wrote, so never considered the auction.

Great stuff,

Take your time, the best thins in life are worth waiting for. However, if you wait too long for one thing life passes you by

I see a lot of similarities between the hermit and the Monarch. Both on top in their day, both handsome at their prime, and both know the mountain they call home...

Somebody pull this hook out of my mouth.

I can't believe you are writing as it goes along, that is quite a natural talent. I thought you had it done and you were copying little sections as you let the story fold. I am even more impressed. This is "Gray's Sporting Journal" level so far. I could see a book of short stories in your future. I would certainly love to red it.
