So very very sorry to hear of your loss of Julie Amanda. Dogs are amazing companions. They don't care a whip about giving their life if it means protecting yours. I'm sure she was on alert about the situation and the lion just had the edge and was apparently not afraid. A friend years back had a very similar situation up there but the lion didn't cause as much initial damage and the vet was able to patch things up. Again very sorry to hear about this and how it all happened. Glad the lion was killed but also sorry for Clark and his loss in the pursuit. I'm sure Julie is scratching out a nice soft spot above and turning around three times to lay down and watch over you. Keep the good memories of Julie to the front. My thoughts are with you and Paul.

That is too cool Nick. Some things are meant to be. Hope to see you soon.

Check the NIT.com sports apparel. Bear Down!

Big 2/8! But a for reals guess 126.4

That's a great looking goat Nick! Great job!!

What size for the waist belt? Thx.

As always a great adventurous write up and pictures to boot! Thanks for the story.

Great adventure and write up on it. Thanks for the take along!!

Sent you a PM

I believe that is KUIU's new "All Natural" pattern. Extremely lightweight and breathable. Also on "backordered".

Really enjoyed the pictures and write up on it. You put us all out there with you. Thanks for taking us along. Keep at it!

Congratulations and that was a great watch! Excellent video footage and put together about as good as it gets!

Congratulations! That is going to be good eating for some time and great memories of your first elk. Way to get it done!

Very nice bud. Merry Christmas!

Very cool Nick! Keep me posted. C'mon back east when you can.

Great job with you and your dad's elk hunt. Awesome buck and a true sportsman with the first "warning" shot! Great job and congratulations!! Bear Down!!

Way to get it done Brent and Court! Awesome job and as always "Bear Down"!!

Just dropped my bull off with Cole of CMC Skull Works about an hour ago. Good guy and does great work from the ones my friends have had him do. Anxious for mine! CMC +++

Way to get it done buddy. Great time through the whole trip and a great ending. It was fun!

Great write up and pictures! It is nice to see those colors. A painting around every corner. I hunted Virginia and had a similar experience with shots on two deer. I was consoled by a local hunting friend that these deer back here are "highly trained athletes". Way to do the DIY!

Great story buddy. I knew it would work out into a great adventure for you. Way to use that scabbard!!

Jesse and Josh and the rest of the staff in Tucson are top quality with equipment and knowledge and just good people!

I have the GG&G swivel. No springs and very smooth. Pricey though, but solid. http://www.opticsplanet.com/gg-g-extreme-duty-swivel-standard-bipod-xds.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=plusbox-beta&gclid=Cj0KEQjwpvufBRCwzp_zyqfkhrcBEiQA8b-SHGckN646Wz1fALbu8hxHxK9Pg_cV1bu8yuhkANHOlYcaApVt8P8HAQ

Way to go Nick! Hope to catch you on a trip to get all the details! Congratulations on a great buck!

I feel bad for the guy on the right in the group photo. Nice buck bud but……….. Everyone is squeezing into the toad pic!
