My names Ben, I've grown up hunting whitetails in the south and have started going out west to chase elk. I've gone on 2 rifle hunts and 1 archery hunt, so far no luck. I'm taking this year off from going out west since I have a great opportunity to go after whitetails in Missouri. I'm going to spend the next year gathering as much info I can, it's gotten pretty frustrating eating a tag sandwich for 3 years in a row. I'm hopeful my fall 2017 hunt will be the one that proves sucessful.
