Dave,
Can you think of a better fella to have with you when you have a bad elk down??? Johnny and Dave pass the test with ease.
I always grade folks by the following thought: Ya got a bad elk down in the bottom of a steep canyon (schit, I've been there a hundred times). It's dusk, it's about zero, your horses are two freezing miles away and it just started to snow. Is the guy a wimpy leg-holder or will he jump right into the guts with you??? Will he help skin, without slicing you??? Would you trust him to cut right up to the spot and not cut deep into your hand???
A "bad elk trustworthy" friend is a precious thing. Interestingly, every Campfire member I've personally met is bad elk trustworthy friend.
Steve
