I truly had the most enjoyable hunt I’ve prob ever had with this ragtag band of trad hunters! Ryan was the only one I had met in person prior to going on this epic journey. I had built him a tripod last year, and met him/visited with him when he came to my house to pick it up. I talked to Randy once on the phone, and Scott and Jeff only through text. But, by the grace of God, he put together a group of hunters that REALLY meshed together well, and complimented each other’s skills. I had the time of my life brothers, and WOULD NOT trade it for anything! We stumped together, I got over “a small portion” of my fear of shooting “in front of others” (still stink at it though!) 
and just generally felt overly blessed to be in yalls company! It was awesome being around/hunting with, guys who like this passion we all know as traditional archery! Cuz now that I’m back at home, I’m back to “flying solo”! It truly was an Epic Journey brothers, we “counted coup” on lots of critters, including elk, and enjoyed to its fullest the gift of the High Country that the Lord laid out before us. It was hard by bout day 7 of waking up at 4:30-5, just to hit the mountain marathon once again! But it was never dreaded, a struggle, or something you didn’t want to do, cuz you just never know what could unfold on that particular day! We stuck to it, gave it our best, and never gave up. Good friends, brothers, and newly found trad hunting buddies, tend to help in that regard! Good Huntin, and God Bless, Rusty
Just sayin
