Randy, my wife and I have watched you and always looked forward to the next Uncle Larry hunt. Loved it when he shot the "wrong" elk and when he got scoped in one of your earlier seasons. Maybe he can be the camp cook/comedian.
I've been on both sides of this fence. I will tell you as an employee, I was contacted by a headhunter and was given a written offer that was almost double my salary at that time. Problem was, it was also our youngest daughters last year of high school and the job requirement required me to be...
Beau, like others have said, we wish you and your family the best through these trying times. Cherish the memories because we are never promised tomorrow.
Congratulations and sharing those precious memories with your daughter is something I hope neither of you forget. Good for you Dad for taking her along for the ride.
I work for a very large mechanical contractor in the Southeast. Our service trucks have always been 2500/3500 or 250/350's. These trucks are put through the ringer and most easily exceed 300,000 miles and are then sold off. Welders are tough on their equipment and this speaks volumes to their...
I know I've been battling an ongoing lawsuit at work for over 8 years. Some days suck just coming in to the office and others are even worse when we have court dates or depositions. I've been through the divorce thing before and I got my son out of it and did the best I could. Ironically enough...
I like option 2 as well. The higher the better if the weather allows it. I would be worried about the thick part either as it will provide cover for the animals
What an outstanding read and I followed along. Elk at that range, bull or cow is unbelievable. What a memory and I would have loved to watch you heave that big old boy in to your truck. Good for you to get your dad out there as well.
WRO you are a better man than me. If I felt that a weapon was being drawn upon me and my wife then someone is getting shot. I am all for defusing a situation but there is a line you do not cross and pulling a gun on me is one that would be hard for me to look away from. I hunt with my wife and...
I hunt with my wife every year. She doesn't complain, never backs out on me or leaves me hanging. Take her alligator hunting in the swamps of Florida and elk hunting out west. Plus, we have lots of toys now that the kids are grown :sneaky:
Please keep a journal and you will discover that you did not need a good bit of the things you packed. Do not wait until next year to recall, do it while it is fresh in your mind and eyes view. We cut our load down extensively after our first year. We really over packed on food items more than...
Drive safe, we are just a few hours north of you and hunt in Colorado and New Mexico. It is a hump!!! You will be tired from just sitting and staring at nothing. Love bugs are in full swing, so you have those nasty splatters to deal with. We leave for New Mexico in four weeks from tomorrow. Good...
