David congratulations on the fine elk.:D It is a beautiful trophy .Do you have room left in the cabin for another rack? When you get caught up will we get a story? I have been following post on Tradbow is this how it happened?

Walking and calling are fun hunting, and as you say they combat boredom. But for killing elk you can’t beat sitting in silence, long boring hours and days, in a place with plenty of recent sign, or several such places. Thomas “T” Downing is the most successful cow-calling elk hunter I’ve known–he called in a bull for me two years ago and had several others going crazy in a place where I hadn’t heard a bugle or seen a bull in nearly a week. But T has the vocal magic and most of us don’t. IMHO

Congratulations again! I am real glad the TuffHead worked out for you .Including yours this is the third reported elk killed with the TuffHead in the past week .It was a good week for the TuffHead and a bad week for elk. I am looking forward to the details of the hunt.
