I am leaving this afternoon on my first elk trip and just wanted to say thank you to Randy and everyone on this forum. You guys are wealth of information (mostly good) and are leading people to hunt the right way.
A quick backstory and I need to get busy finalizing my packing. My dad and I had talked about making a trip out west to antelope or elk. Due to failing health that trip never happened and he died in 2002. I kind of lost interest in deer hunting for a year or two after he died, I eventually came to my senses and started hunting again. But up until this point I was a guy making excuses on why I would never go on a trip like this time, money, and lack of knowledge. Forums like this and Rokslide and shows like Randy's and Steven Rinella's gave me the kick in the ass I needed to get out there. Thanks again.
