Thanks 25 for continuing this. He did exceptional work on the ring and I'm sure the buckle will be just as good. Good luck to everyone!

I won't be able to contribute as my elk hunt will be mainly on private land. That said I love that you guys are putting this competition on and can't wait to hear the stories.

I think the reason no one is putting stories up is because everyone seems to be whacking toads around the forum and Scott is getting the stories for the magazine! :)
