Glad I could help. You did your homework and earned it, though.
I did get your email, thanks! Made the mistake of reading it at work right before going into a 5 hour strategic planning meeting; totally blew my concentration...

Great report and mucho congratualtions on both of you getting nice bulls down. 150 yards with open sights on a muzzleloader is always a great shot!

Harvdog, Nice work you old Missouri boys! I grew up in Missouri and always dreamed of hunting elk out here. You guys did really good. Great writeup and great bulls.

Love the story and photos. Post like that help me through the fall this year since I can not go elk hunting this fall. For some reason my daughter thought her wedding was more important:)

Elk with a muzzleloader is always a good thing.
Great job.
Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a hunting license and that's pretty close.

Public DIY other than the pack in/out and meat packing. It's in the Super long story, I think?:)

Loved the story and the hunt! Hope us Arkansans can hold a little candle to it in another month or so!
I ride mules, hunt every chance I can, and even take my husband with me!
