    Hope to be there Dave. I feel like I should try other areas or other game - but I still can't get enough of these Elk and this beautiful area. I'd like to hear some more details of your hunt and thoughts on that unit...

    Rocky - Will was there on the weekend we rolled in - always a pleasure. He has a huge part in this bull of mine - not only introducing me to this whole area and jumpstarting my quest to Elk hunt...but his positive message and also his experience and tips all played a part...I'd still be learning the hard way otherwise. You said it - Will's a legend!

    Maybe Will can work on you and give the CO Elk another go...good luck this fall up north!
