The Draw....

Well, it's over. The draw for elk and lope tags has gone and past and I wasn't picked. I just was thinking this morning how it was almost a relief to NOT get an elk tag. Don't get me wrong I would not have turned one down, but not having one lets me focus on the part of hunting I love most. The people.
Let try not to forget that most of us have more memories of that time in camp where it snowed a foot over night, or rained for 8 days while you all played cards in the wall tent, or that time in camp where all your best friends came out to be the there just to play horse shoes and tell lies about how great they once were. Those are the the ones I love. Getting together with family and friends going out and sleeping in the dirt, walking around in the woods making silly noises and going home with a truck load of memories. Now that sounds like a great time to me.

I am fortunate enough to have several great friends and family members that drew great elk tags and I am really looking forward to! And yall know who you are, and know that I will try my damndest to make it to camp and help where I can.

We got about a month before we see the Deer and Sheep Regulations book come out. So here's to hoping!

Cheers.
