Good start Scoot. And you are right, looks very close to western ND except the trees are wrong! Make them cedar trees and I wouldn't know the difference.

27-Oct-16
Good stuff Scoot. I'll be following and looking for more.

"First a confession: I’ve had this story ready for about two weeks..."

First you hold out on us, then you leave us hanging on a story that's already written? You're killin us Scoot!

As Mr. T used to say "I pity the fool!" ha, you two earned that elk, I am familiar with the gumbo mud and I'm impressed you two could even get her out of that gully washer ravine and didn't sink up to your nads in mud.........wow those gumbo hillsides and adobe spines are pretty treacherous when wet, we'll nominate you two for the Missouri breaks "tuff man" award:)

This photo was the aftermath of the rainstorm.....I had to drive across 1/2 mile of water running across the road up to my wheel wells and hope that I didn't drop off the shoulder of the road and wash down stream as the water was moving fast too....

I missed the rest of the story until today Scoot. Great job and awesome story! I can only imagine the challenge you guys faced getting that cow broke down and hauled out!

BTW, other than an uneventful sit in a tree Sunday evening, my weekend wasn't spent with stick and string but was spent enjoying some pheasant hunting. It was too warm for the dogs but still a great opening weekend!

Great story. Thank you for sharing...How is Jon's knee now?

From: JohnB

Great story lots of thought put into it. I enjoyed those pics a bunch too. Glad you got it done for dad hope he is better. I also wondered how Jon's knee is? After 3 days in CO this year my knee was toast and am going the replacement route in Dec hope to be good next season. I can't imagine that mud doing his knee any good.

Good call on the cow - looks like a dandy and will keep you-all in elk meat while you scheme for the upcoming year. Out of curiosity, is there anything additional you wished you could have done (aside from spending another week)?
