All I can say BigSky is "WOW" Looks fantastic plus I like your wife's "Bat Wings" too! 
Whatever you do always give 100%........... unless you are donating blood.
Re: OT: Elk Scouting
I have the same problem with my pasture . Horse poor , and it means what it says with the annual cost of wormer ,shots,feed, etc.... I don't have time to ride them all. I always talk about thinning the herd , but it doesn't seem to happen.
Looks like a great day for riding even if you didn't spot much for elk.

Re: OT: Elk Scouting
I hope that by the time you get the sights put on a rib cage, you guys have more material covering those bare arms. I hate to hunt in warm weather, pretty hard to cool off the meat. Sure pretty country around your neck of the woods.
To hell with them fellas, buzzards gotta eat same as the worms.
