Whew…nice chunk of protein, Jacob! He’s a brute-ster. Way to “dispatch” the woodland giant.

Wow, reminds me of when Tom got his elk. He was fourteen and he called the log house and said, “You be ready!” and hung up! Ha! He was so very excited so I know how much you must be proud of Jacob.
I don’t know if you know already, but I am going to be a Great Grandmother! Can you believe that? Michele’s daughter Tessa and son-in-law are going to have a baby in April. Michele of course is on cloud 9. So guess that means I move up a notch to GGMa. Sounds a little French to me! Ha!
Love you Lum Family…Jim is doing great…Sandy and Jim

Great job Jacob. I was going to take a picture of the trail your elk left in the snow as it skidded to the bottom of the hill. You could see it real well from our house. It got covered with snow before I got to it . We were so glad you got one. Great job.

Tod, I have been waiting for this story and finally received it today. Definitely worth the wait as usual. Congratulations Jacob and Tod on the fine bull. Jacob, what a shot at 325yds. You are a very fine marksman. Must be all that training you had in junior rifle with the .22.

Talk to you guys soon.

Brad

Fantastic Jacob! You will always have that Great Memory of Your first Bull elk. More so, Your Dad will have that same memory and always smile. Tod, It was as if I was there hiking up the ridge right behind You with my knees going pop pop pop. Getting old sucks. An awesome adventure written down very well. With All the Aloha to Your Ohana,

Bob

Good Job, Jacob!

Nothing is more healthier than organically raised elk. Enjoy.

way to go Tod and Jacob ! You have a good argument for all those hypocriticizers out there. You’re my hero.

Wow, Tod! This brings back such memories for me of staying at the cabin @ Buckhorn and watching my son’s Dad, Jay, head out on the horses for the hunt in these jagged but beautiful hills. My son, Jacob, who is now a Marine, also nabbed his first elk there. I can tell you that they NEVER got so lucky to have the access that you and your son, Jacob had. Congratulations to you Jacob! Such a meaningful experience for you and your father. Yum! Elk stew for the winter! (Tod, you have such an eloquent way with words! It’s like dessert to read them!)
