I need to do some daydreaming. Let's see some of your pics from the high country last year. Here are a few of mine from a 12,000' scouting trip in CO.

Awesome! These definitely are not helping my productivity at work today...:D

My condolences for your friend Marble.
 
This little spot is very difficult to get to. It holds bucks that are in the 30" class. We missed a 40+" buck 5 years ago there.

This was my horse and my very first bull I killed.

My condolences for your friend Marble.

Thank you very much. He hunted that area for 35 years and knew every trail and camp for miles around. We made a plaque for him this past season and put it on a rock that we have always hunted from. I'll see if I can find it and post it.

He shot a custom built 7STW with a 28" Shilen barrel. He was only 5'6", 135 pounds and he killed elk with that gun by just sitting down shooting off his backpack up to 850 yards away without any fancy equipment. Really an amazing person.
 
Here's one cool pic I found real quick. I'll dig through last years photos later and post a few more...

Western slope in Colorado during the 1st rifle elk season.
