Nice one. Me & 2 buds got it done on the Island last fall as well. Mid November, the rut was over. The more experienced friend has been putting in for Elk on the Island for over 30 years & never got a draw. For the last 4 years or so, at his request, I've been putting in & won last season! He called me a 'bum' when I told him the news, but all 3 of us now have meat in the freezer.
