i wasn't going to post this, but i had such a good week-end, i decided, why not? some time back, i started visiting the MM site, and eventually decided to join in. what a great decision...i have had the pleasure of reading about and seeing pictures of some great hunts..i never thought it would go any further that that.. but thinking back over the past hunting season, i realized more than that had happened. back in early summer, may or june, a fellow MM member contacted me re: a post i did about a late season cow elk hunt in my area. he and his nephew both qualified for the cow hunt if they had not filled their tags earlier. as it turns out, our fellow MM member connected on a GREAT bull, but his nephew did not. later that year, another fellow MM member contacted me re: a late season buck tag that his father had drawn in my area..asked if i could help them out, and i said absolutely...i did some pre-season scouting and found some decent bucks...i tried to hook-up with them when they came over, but missed them by several hours..two days later, i got an e-mail from him with a pic of a very respectable buck that his father had bagged. i was probably just about as thrilled about it as he was for his father getting the buck. knowing that he took the time to send me the pics was reward enough...he lives in a very well known area for good white-tail bucks and told me if i ever wanted one, to give him a holler'. in january, i was treated to a phone call from another MM member, Dwayne 'cowboye' Elam, from oklahoma. he was in a town in my state (washington) on business, and called to say he wanted to visit.. he drove quite a ways out of his way for the visit, and it was a pleasure meeting him and his father, a true gentleman...because of the 'huntsonora' x-mas gift exchange (thank you, huntsonora) i was able to connect with 'nvhunter' who told me if i ever draw a nevada tag to get hold of him...if i do, i will...as it turned out, our MM members' nephew never did connect on an elk, and he contacted me re: the cow elk hunt. i spent some time trying to locate a 'stable herd' that wasn't going anywhere, as they could only travel to here on week-ends (125 miles).. i found one last week, and they arrived on friday afternoon. as i was waiting for them, we loaded up and headed out...as luck would have it, we found the elk that afternoon and his nephew did a fine job of bagging his first elk ever!!! this wasn't a 'farmer's field' hunt either,, myself and our fellow MM member were just as thrilled over the results as his nephew....on top of everything else, they brought me a cooler full of salmon fillets, halibut, and "pickled-salmon" (ring a bell, DK?) i guess what i'm getting at, is not only have i been able to read about other MM experiences, they are now even some of my memories...i have attached below, fellow MM members' pics of the fathers' deer hunt, and the nephews' elk hunt..i hope they don't mind...i am truly sorry for the length of this post, i am not trying to 'blow my own horn', just trying to share with you my joy at being a part of the site and thanking others for letting me be a part of their 'hunting trips'
