Ive been waiting for this thread. Keep it going scoot
I know putting together these stories takes a lot of time. Your time and effort is greatly appreciated. Carry on!
Good stuff so far, Scoot! I wish everybody would post every story. Thanks for this buddy
Great stuff so far, Scoot!
More, Scoot!
Question for you - I haven't used a tent/tarp without a floor since I got a good job and could afford one WITH a floor, but wondering how you keep the water from running in and soaking everything when those awful afternoon hail-rainstorms hit?
That was what finally drove me to carry a tent (and switch to a synthetic bag - having a wet sleeping bag and hypothermia way back in the wilderness.
Very nicely done Scoot! Keep it coming.....a long winter it is...already!

Just what we need in January!...but we need more
Thanks Scoot. I carry a Kifaru Paratarp on day hunts in case something like that happens when I'm three miles from camp. Been there too many times, but thankfully haven't had one of those man-killer storms since I got it..
But for camping... - I'm old, so I'd rather carry an extra pound and a half for a roomy shelter with bathtub floor, and drill holes in my Depends and toilet paper to compensate for the extra weight.
I really enjoy your yearly Montana post-hunt recap Scott.
Thanks for sharing...
Good luck, Robb
More - more!!! You got me hanging!! Great writing, thanks for sharing!
Tomorrow??? WTH???
Geez.... I can get "tomorrow" from Coach....
What if something happens to me tonight? I'd die not knowing the ending... then you'd be sad.... then you'd have to go do something you didn't have to cheer yourself up, then...
Ok sounding like a Direct TV ad.... had to try though...
sigh.... waiting....
Ok, now we're getting somewhere! Pretty, dark-antlered buck. Congrats to Jon!
You guys should bring your fillet glove from home. It's always in the bottom of my pack now, and has saved me from many "field surgeries" like he suffered.
Thanks for the write up Scott!!! Even though I can't see the pictures (GRRR...) due to filters at work, I am loving it!!!
did you really bring a left handed dude into elk camp. they are a jinx for sure!
looking great, keep them coming
Looks a like a blast, keep it coming.
Great story Scoot! Thank you for sharing.
It should be a rule that a certain % of bowsiters have to hold back their stories until the post-season. This is great!
Good story scott thanks for sharing
Thanks for taking us along. Great story and pics!
Scoot, Great job thanks!!!!
Thanks for sharing your hunt. Keep it coming. September can't come soon enough!
Noooooo! U gotta finish this!!! This weekend please, and before the Broncos crush the Patriots!!!!
I like those quiakies too! Great thread!!!! Thanks again!
I think the berry is an Oregon Grape.Good story.
This is awesome.....keep it coming!
This is great! Can't wait for the rest.
Way more than three people reading for sure. Your hunt recaps are some of the best on bowsite. Just Plain Awesome.
Come on Scoot. Give us more!!
Come on Scoot. Give us more!!
Great thread! Thank you for the mid-winter pick-me-up from New England! You got your wish yesterday. Brady and the boys were outplayed by the Broncos. Good luck in the Superbowl. I enjoyed following along with you and your buddies. It was a great idea to wait until January rather then have your thread lost in the noise of September.
Thanks,
Jeff
Thanks for sharing scott. Were you in grizzly area ?
Very cool thread!!! I thought it was going to be someone asking where to go on a DIY Elk Hunt lol :)
Great story Scoot...really fun to relive the hunt!!
Scoot - GREAT THREAD! Thank you for taking the time to prepare it and share it....
Lots of great photos (I'm a camera nut). Many photos have the left side blurry, is that something from uploading or maybe you need a new camera?! :)
THanks again...
>>>>-------->
I've always known those as wild grapes. I eat the hell out of those things.
Great recap, Scoot! Thanks for sharing the adventure!
Awesome write up! Thank you so much for sharing it all with us.
Great recap Scoot. You shared some great photos that I thoroughly enjoyed, including proof that you are a tree hugger.
Thanks for sharing!
Great story! I may do mine sometime if I ever get my arse to finish it. What the heck would have happened if you would have been unable to see the forecasted weather that was coming?!
Great story! Thanks for sharing.
Sometimes it seems the animals have been on suicide watch the way they fall in your lap. Other times it seems the planets have to align to put something on the ground.
But we can't wait to get back out on em again.
Thanks for the story and pics! Great job.
Now I can die happy... =D
Standing OVATION from the heartland!-D
Another great hunt and story Scoot! You have a great talent for bringing us on the hunt with you.
