    Wow! Congrats Will. You continue to amaze me and your humility is what amazes me the most. You share your adventures with us and never once have you come across as boastful. My hat is off to you sir!

    Congrats again Will.
    I seem to recall a hunt of mine that didn't go as planned. :mad: I guess that's life and we have to deal with it the best we can.

    I can't wait to hear the "live" version of your story buddy.

    Headin out in the morning. I'll see you Saturday afternoon. :D
    WOOHOO!!

    Huck: Great adventure again, for you and Sean. Congratulations on your northern trophys. Time to come back to Colorado and find your Colo hunting posse and bull elk. You lead such a boring life. he he . Thanks for sharing your adventures with us, shame on the guides for not allowing you more travel and photo oportunities. HH in Pa

    Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

    Just curious as to what the outfitter's response was to all of this once it was over.

    A great job as usual Mr. Nelson! Sorry to hear that your experience with native guides was similar to many that I've run across. It's a totally different culture to be sure. Glad to see that you're home safe!
