That Wayne is a fine addition to the fire and a great writer is certainly true, but it is also true that he is a remarkably good hunter too. I know this because I've hunted with him on the Deseret Ranch. Some years ago years ago, I had a management bull elk permit for the Deseret. My brother was guiding me and we were having trouble finding a decent management bull. In those days a management bull had to be and older 5x5 or 5x6. Wayne was on the ranch and bunking with my bother and me. He told us he'd seen a great 5x5 that would score well. He offered to take us into the drainage where the 5x5 was hanging out. The three of us found the bull the first time the next morning about 8:00am miles from the truck in the very rugged blue fork canyon area. The bull gave us the slip several times but Wayne kept finding him. Finally about 11:00am the bull made a final fatal mistake and I put a 160gr Nosler Partition through his chest. It was an exciting chase, one I will never forget.
