Sounds like a great hunt, thanks for sharing it with us.

[Duffman]

Awesome story Scoot, and that last silhouette pic is fantastic!

Well done boys - great ending to a great hunt! I enjoyed following along with that one for sure... can't wait to get out there someday and hear that first bugle! Congratulations.

What a great story! I would love to have one like that to share! And an absolutely awesome ending as well, 4 for 4 all bulls! Incredible!

[Jim Uran]

IT was a great hunt and even better writing I think. Something like that is publishable!!! It was like we were all their with you. Definitely a great hunting story.

Great Final Chapter Scoot. Thanks for taking the time to share. I don't think anybody thinks you are gloating about how good of a hunters you guys are. I think you are just rubbing in the fact that you get to go on such an awesome hunt

Thanks so much for sharing. You guys have hunting skills and knowledge that most of us only dream about. I mean think about it...

4 for 4 on Bull Elk with Archery Gear on public land with only a week to hunt! That is impressive.

Make sure to keep us posted on next years hunt! Good luck with your hunting here in the flat lands!

Awesome hunt and excellent story keeping us curious to the end! Way to go guys..

You filled out last year with 3 beauties, and 4 bulls this season...bowhunting! That's beyond belief. Great job!

Awesome story and pics...If that doesn't motivate a guy to bowhunt for elk nothing will...I have another week to wait until I get to go..

[blongtin]

Great story and great pics Scoot. I enjoyed looking forward to reading the next chapter everyday. Also congrats on the successful hunt!

[Stratosman]

Nice job and great story, way to go! Something everyone should do at least once in their lifetime.

Congrat's bud!

I hope you have enjoyed it half as much as we did! I’ve also really enjoyed writing up the story. I hope my writing hasn’t been too over the top and I really hope nobody interprets me telling the story as bragging or being grandiose- that’s certainly not my motivation or intention.

Not at all and I really enjoyed reading it, nice job both on the hunt and the writing of the story!!!

[BarryG]

Great story! Congrats on good bulls for all!

[Team Otter]

Great job Scoot, it was fun following the story this past week. I think the Rockies will see an increase in the number of MN hunters visiting in 2009!

Congratulations and keep up the good work!

sounds like a nice time scoot. i'm not a hunter, only a few squirrels when i was a teenager, so i can't say for sure. but does sound like you were satisfied by the results. .. good job.

Awesome trip again for you man what an experience. You guys have it figured out and know what the heck you are doing that is for sure. No shortage of effort either. Anyone that have ever done a public land hunt knows how hard they can be but your crew does them well man. Congrats on another successful year.

[harvey lee]

Very good Scoot. I have huntesd out west and done the DIY hunts but not with the same success as your group. You guys are a class act for sure.

[Scoot]

Thanks again, fellas. Like I've said, it was an absolute blast again this year. I attribute out success to two main things: 1) there are a lot of elk in that area, and 2) we're not smart enough to know when to quit. Obviously, a little luck doesn't hurt either.

[Morneau132]

Thanks Scoot!!!!

[Quickstrike]

Wow, my eyes have been glued to the computer for the last hour reading the entire story, very enjoyable! Sounds like the trip of a lifetime, hopefully I can experience something remotely close to that someday.

Thanks for sharing.
