Brad;
It's nice to see you posting again sir, hopefully you and yours are doing acceptably well this last Sunday before Christmas.

Thanks for sharing your very crisp photos too, I very much enjoyed them.

For sure the photos I put up were not where we hunted rams back in the '90's though. In going through what I've got on photobucket, this is much closer to what we'd have been in.

We'd see ewes and banana rams in the open side hills adjacent to the thicker old growth sometimes - like this sort of country.

But once they'd made it through a hunting season or two in a bachelor herd they'd be hanging out more on the side with the power line cut up until the rut would pull them back into view.

Anyway thanks again for the photos, congratulations on that buster bull elk and Merry Christmas to you folks Brad.
