Very nice and well done story. Congrats to the both of you. Looks like the Amish machine gun does well out there also.

Scott is full of chit and gives me far too much credit.
I pointed he and his dad in a general direction and that was pretty much the extent of my involvement. The two Cheese-Heads came west and kicked azz. I provided a place to sleep and they took care of the rest.
Paul (Whelen Nut) made arguably the greatest meal ever prepared in camp. I CANNOT emphasize enough how much all of you should have him prepare that meal for you. I gained 5 pounds in a week in spite of hiking 10 billion vertical feet...mostly because of that particular meal.
Both of them were great to have in camp, and were far tougher than I would have imagined possible for a couple of flatlanders. It is a VERY unpleasant area to hunt, and neither of them whined a bit...the same cannot be said for Chuck (my regular hunting partner) and I.
After 15 years of hunting together, Chuck's abilities with a knife continue to amaze me. That's just the tip of the iceberg though, and a guy couldn't ask for a better hunting partner. I don't mention that often enough, and this seems like as good a time as any to say as much.
Paul also classed things up a bit with some top-shelf whiskey. Bonus points there.
Great hunt overall, and I'm happy I got to share a little bit of the experience with the Kane clan. Good dudes for sure.

That looks like a good time was had by all.
Scott, it's nice to see your father went with you. That's special.
Take care.
