I'm Famous!

Postby WapitiTalk1 » 11 21, 2016 •  [Post 1]

This is better than winning Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory ;).

Sent the story of last year's Idaho hunt to Western Hunter to see if they could use it in one of their magazines (Western Hunter or Elk Hunter). Unfortunately, they couldn't use my story but asked if they could put my mug in the Tagged Out section in Elk Hunter... I said sure, why not. Well there you have it, I'm now world famous and so is James (Poison Arrow Decoy) who made the decoy that helped me take this tasty Idaho wapiti. I promise I won't get too big for my britches with my new found fame and will remember all the folks who helped me get to the top :D.

Seriously, the Western Hunter/Elk Hunter magazines are really the best out there as far as I'm concerned and if you're not already subscribed, give them a try and I betcha you won't regret it (sponsor banner and link up above). I really enjoyed this issues pack article (gear for compact meat haulers)!

In all honesty, that is how I found this website! I imagine this place should be getting some more traffic

Nicely done! How much are you going to charge for autographs? I have a bunch of hats, tshirts, napkins, and even my left bicep I will want to be signed.....

Neither! The editor said I was too good looking so they photo shopped in that ugly guy on the right :)

Your next goal should be to get a cover photo! I would not bet against it.

Ha, I figure I'm due Jim. I know somewhere out there on the alder choked side hills I frequent, there is a really, really dumb 350 class bull that is just tired of living :lol:
