The last picture tells it all, i.e., togetherness, having a wonderful experience, memories formed, and then, "just wait until the next time", is what keeps us coming back. Nicely done by all. Paul

Awesome hunt guys!!! So many great memories in there. Stuff you'll cherish the rest of your life. Chickens, bugles, chances that didn't quite work out, camaraderie in camp so many great things. All it takes is one encounter to hook a guy.

Not always about a bull on the ground! This is hard to beat! Next year I have a feeling Ryan will have his hands on a Wyoming bull! :)

Way to go guys ! If it was only about the kill we wouldn’t be bowhunting elk. I’ve had my fair share of elk hunts that were awesome, but only have pictures and memories to show for them. But when you do kill one it seems like the world stops turning for a minute! Thanks for the write up Scoot! Get back after it next year!

Dreams are for dreamers and elk hunters, successful or not. Dreams are what keeps us coming back. Dreams are good. Nicely done. Paul

That’s a great ending to a great story Scoot, just proves you don’t have to kill to have a good hunt. You’ll recall little things about this hunt for years and so will Ryan. As for killing an elk, there’s always next year, and the next, and…….

The pictures display the attitude and enthusiasm. The story reinforces that and bears witness to the perseverance. Ryan is a lucky young man.
A great story about a great team of partners.

I have no doubt that well earned back straps are out there already moving towards an intersection with your path next year.
