Fantastic!  A dream trip for sure.
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

That "other hunter" sure looks like my PA buddy, Peckerwood!

But my eyes ain't what they were...

This will get interesting.

Mike, you're a blessed man in many ways.  Sharing that with a non-hunting wife with enough spunk to keep up: Priceless!
The words "Child" and "terminal illness" should never share the same sentence! Those who care-do, others question!

Thanks again gents! Yes Doc that'd be he...good hunter, good dude, good shot. Will share another campfire with he and Dave someday...perhaps with a BULL tag in my pocket   :jumper:  

Bill and Dave will be out on Thursday. I left them last with blood on their hands. I think they like my elk hunting spot. Hoping a finders fee includes some elk backstrap!

Mike,
  What an awesome hunt. I have to say it is one of the best write ups I have seen on an internet hunting forum, you defintely have a gift!!!  And yup, you definitely did marry up!  :bigsmyl:  
    Hope you kill that big buck back home!
To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

Hey Mike, great story, thanks for sharing.  Its really cool your wife went along with you.

That bird looks like a common Nighthawk or a Common Poorwill.  Really cool birds.  Hard to tell by the picture.

Thanks again my friends. Jack, thanks for the info. I just know on my 2nd run at those mulies I stepped near one. They shake and squauk like a rattlesnake and have perfect camo.

Here's another pic of my hunting partner. She hung in better than some of the male hunting partners I have taken with me in the past  :)
