    I mentioned earlier that I did not draw an elk tag and was waiting to see if my buddy drew a resident tag. Well, he did! I'm back in elk hunting mode and looking forward to it. Just a little over two months away and the time will fly by. I drew a deer tag so we'll both be hunting. I thought I'd post some pics of our past elk trips.

    Thanks guys; headed to Wyoming. I may go up in a couple weeks to help frame up a garage/shop for my son. I'll put out a few cameras and see what I get over a few days. Probably have just a week there and then back in September.
