Good luck on the whitetails Charlie.  I got started a few days ago and already have stolen your "crazy horn" name for a buck that passed about 20 yds. out of bow range. A perfect 4 on the right side with a fork on the left side that's got to be more than 12' long...probably a good 135" to 140" rack if both sides would have been 4's.  Hope to see him again by the time he starts chasing the ladies.  See you in Feb.  

Welcome home Charlie. Glad to have you back in the Midwest helping with our deer problem.

Glad you made it with all the gear still in YOUR truck! And grateful for safe travels...

RE: elk...didn't I read one time that originally, they were prarie critters? Till they got hammered and opted for the mts?
