Last spring I posted some questions about the youth late elk hunt and recieved a pm from "jabber" he gave me some info and only wanted a report of how the hunt went. I am not sure I have seen anything from him for a while. Pm me jabber if you are still out there.
For anyone else interested I have twin boys who drew the late hunt and got skunked along with 98 percent of the other hunters. it is a tough youth hunt. We were lucky enogh though to have a great local who called us a couple of weeks ago and informing us some landowners were still having troubles and they had decided to see if the youth that did not tag out could help with the elk. ( trial thing I guess ) anyway we got special authorization and my boys were able to go down to Jensen and Last night Riley thumped a rag bull at 316 yards one shot. Jacob ( twinner 2 ) shot another rag bull at 400 yards one shot. I was extremely proud of them and grateful for a second chance to fill thier tags. The boys are twelve and I was worried if they could shoot that good , but they were awesome.
thanks for listening to my rants. Layne
