Thanks to everyone for the kind comments. My son has really enjoyed reading them, he is still super excited (not near as much as Dad is though!  ).

Dober Dober!! You guys gotta come down next year! That would be awesome. And, I can assure you, Brayden and I were talking today about wanting to hunt in Montana. Also, meeting in Wyoming would be fantastic!

Congrats!
I hope to slide out tomorrow and drop a cow elk. I have to use a shotgun with slugs, so there will be no easy 388 yd shots. Hopefully less than 200, and the closer the better, that shotgun (or is it the shooter?) isn't as accurate as I hoped.

This doesn't look like a staged picture, I wish I could still get that excited feeling about hunting... ![[Linked Image]](http://i331.photobucket.com/albums/l463/Huntr7X57/Elkhunt009.jpg)

You are correct, nothing staged about any of these pics! Capturing that intensity is something I will always look at with pride.

Beyond cool.
I hope your boy knows just how lucky he is. I am willing to bet the smile hasn't left either face, yours or his.

Congrats to you and your son. Your son has one fine dad but, I guessing he already knows that!
Start young, hunt hard, and enjoy God's bounty.
