42 days and counting to Elk season! Here is how I convey my elk addiction. Fortunately for me and my addiction, my wife is extremely supportive and as any elk addict knows, your home life can make or break your # of opportunities that you have in the field each season! _________________ IF YOU AIN'T SWEATING, CLIMBING OR PACKING, WHAT FUN IS IT?

I have two passions: playing bluegrass music and elk hunting so I combined them both. Had a custom mandolin built as a tribute to my first elk...6x6 as the theme and had its ivories embedded into the back of the headstock, mother of pearl rack on headstock with myrtle hyde, and original art laser cut tailpiece. Fret markers are elk tracks walking down the fretboard..with an arrow on the 12th fret and a blood trail in red mother of pearl dripping off from fret 14 on....tells the entire story of the hunt and sounds great when playing.

Sweet Mandolin and Tattoos! That mandolin is a beautiful instrument!
The wife loves to eat elk and how happy I am when hunting, but really dislikes how long I'm gone each September, so I try to keep the display of my affection for elk down abit in order to keep the DTI high. The DTI is defined as the Domestic Tranquility Index...you can probably figure out how its scale works.
