    Only problem with shooting the 1st 12 point pope and young I stalk is the10 days ill be sitting there with nothing else to do all tagged out! he he

    Colin, its cool to see another Brit coming along. I was starting to think most people on the BBA forum just 'talked' about hunting.

    The hunt simulator was a good crack, closest we get to 'the real thing' in England.

    Ha ha, Ill be up for going out in pairs, but I want to see you in the flesh first! Photoshop does wonders for people and I aint got enough space in my case to bring my banjo for protection.

    Hey did Will explain to all you fellow Brits that the entry fee into elk camp for non-resident aliens is to be payed in single malt? A bottle each of your choosing should suffice. ;)

    Well, where I come from that seems a fair price to pay, for right of passage!

    I will see if I can smuggle a nice 18 year scotch across the pond!

    See you there Rob!

    Now were talking!

    Rob, we need to craft a flag pole with enough room for the Stars and Stripes, the Blue Ensign, the Union Jack, and a pair of Dave's soiled knickers. Then again, who is going to run up the latter? Never mind......

    Nah mate, I've found that smoked salmon is the perfect cure for counterbalancing whiskey. Of course, if you're concerned about the extra weight in your pack you can always leave it behind in camp. I'm certain there's a few good hearted souls that would be willing to bear your burden and asuage your hangovers.

    I'm sure when Mary gets wind of this she'll be headed to Fiji with the kids long before we show!

    No clue Matt. For the most part the animals are still down low. The really won't begin moving back to the high contry until the end of this month. The cows like to calve in the high bowls. The bulls are already starting to sport their new headgear...
