At some point over the last couple of years I told Joe that he needed to let me borrow his Golden Horseshoe.  I'd hunted that unit before and for him to go 3 for 3 in there is strong.  Well, I'd forgotten all about that comment and when I texted Joe from WY after I'd shot my bull, his reply "I want my Horseshoe back!"  Boy did that crack me up.

Joe, seeing your reverance for the opportunity to just spend time in such a wonderful slice of elk country makes it clear....you ARE the Golden Horsehoe.

Good show, my man, good show.

Thanks Joe, from the pictures it looks like a great place.

Well, I am thinking the elk was gone before you could get into position. Next time give a little cow call, whistle, or whisper, "get up you ...."

I have had similar situations, and being so close is more of a disadvantage, especially when they are looking at you.

Best wishes to the family.

Man Joe I like your attitude about hunting when things get slow.  That is some beautiful country. What big town are you closest to in that country?


My condolences to you and your family.
