Great post. It is great to see parents involved with their kids like this! Happy Thanksgiving

Dad I want to try for them if you will just go with me." ...She claimed to be near death, but was still on her feet. LOL, my favorite lines. Best elk story of the year. Congrat's to you both!

Great story and pics!

Mike,
This has to be in contention for the Best Post of the Year!
Tell Addy I'm jealous of her bull and give her a high five from me!

That was one awesome story, I agree with everyone else that she has some real go in her and she is a cutie! You might have a handful when she becomes a teen, but handling a knife like that at age 8, I think the boys better watch out for themselves! Congrats to dad and Addy!

"Best" trumps "biggest" every day of the week and every week of the year...and there is nothing like a kiddo to bring about those "best" moments. Congrats to both of you and kudos to you for making it happen.
I can say from experience that regret is about the only thing about hunting with my kids that I haven't experienced.
