lowell:
I've been watching here impatiently to hear some news too!!
Justin Snyder:
Maybe Pat and Kenneth are trying to figure out how to get that monster rack off the mountain. Pat has a flight tomorrow so we should hear from them today or in the morning. If it were me I wouldn't come down off the mountain until I had to check in at the airport.
Little John:
I put Pat on the airplane this Saturday morning and he should be in North Carolina about now. The hunting was the toughest I have ever seen it and our area seemed to be almost empty of elk. We did hear a few distant bugles but fresh sign was almost non exzistant. I don't know where ehe elk went as they were there earlier but I was working so much that I never checked back on them the last few weeks before the hunt. The trip went off without a hitch with beautiful mild weather, beautiful country, good camping and excellent comaraderie. I am bummed out as I just knew that Pat was going to have his chance. We never seen another hunter during our week long hunt till when we were packing out and met a muzzleloader on his way in. Pat did see a wolf from his stand and really was excited about the sighting. Here are a few pics till Pat can post his. Pat is an excellent companion for such a wilderness adventute. kenneth
Pat B:
I made it in this evening about sunset...and what a beautiful sunset greeted me back home. Once I clear the cobwebs and the airline finds my back pack with all I couldn't carry on the airplane( hand made knives, tomakawk, side quiver, etc...and my camera) I'll post pics and tell stories(can you believe a wolf at 30 yards 8) ). Kathie(Kenneth's gracious wife) downloaded all my pics to her computer last night so if the unthinkable happens, at least we still have the pics and memories. ;)
What a FABULOUS trip and adventure!...and I did better physically at 61 than I did at 56 in 2006. 8) I think my true hunting soul is in the Southwest or at least elk country. I feel natural in their environment and Kenneth has given me the chance to realize it and the guidance to persue it. 8) Thanks to you Kenneth for the opportunity and the friendship. 8) Both are greatly appreciated and cherished. And thank you Kathie for getting up so early on Saturday morning to get me to the airport. ;) I owe you one! ;)
It's 9:24pm in the high country of the Salt Creek drainage and we would be finishing supper, having a taste of Canadian whiskey and planning tomorrow's hunt just about now. I think it will take me a few days to get over the withdrawal. I can't believe it is already over. :(
