You tell a mean tale my friend. Hope the moose treat you just as good.

Congratulations Whip! After your hunt last year, then this year's cow I'm beginning to think you're an elk killing machine! Great job and thanks for sharing your adventure with us. Cheers from a fellow Wisconsinite elk hunter, Matt

Joe my friend, that is beautiful. Thanks for giving me the 411 on your way down the mountain. Methinks this is just the start of a magical year. Couldn't happen to a finer bloke.

Great hunt Joe and even better because you did it with your wife. I agree with Kevin and this would be a great story for PBS Mag.

Really a great read...even with pictures! I should draw an elk tag within the next 2 yrs. for a really special Utah hunt. When I told my wife she said, "Can I go?" This will be the first time she will have gone with me on a hunt! I'm really looking forward to it. Reading your story makes me think about how great it will be to be able to share time and memories with the one who I love out in the places I love most...the mountains! Thanks.
