Thanks ALL of you for the help I really am grateful and speechless....I'm just getting home from a weekend hunt. As most of you know it was my first hunting trip. Words can't begin to explain the fire & excitement I have in me right now! I'm out of shape lol! And, I need to work on glassing, stalking, hell just the total hunt in general :) I did get in bow range of what I was told was a good first timer buck (140-150) blew him off at 45-47 yards cause of a stupid rock! But the experience of being there at that moment will ALWAYS be a memory I'll keep forever! :D

Want to trade places? You can sit in a combine and I'll go blow some stalks of it would make you feel better! Harvest can't come and go fast enough for me!I'm ready to start chasing critters around too!

It's an awesome feeling for sure. I drew the trifecta this year! Antelope, Deer and Bull Elk. I got my antelope last week and heading out today to get my buddies cow tag filled then our deer tags. After that we come back for a week and head out for my bull tag........

Oops -- jumped the gun. I misread one of your responses and thought you got him. Consider it positive thoughts for next time out, Backcountry!
