Max went on an elk hunt in 2006 that was donated by Thumper Ridge Ranch. We all had an awesome time!

Here's Max with his bull elk, along with his dad, Marty, Derrick, Jeremiah Doak of Closing the Distance, Larry, and Gaylon Thibodeaux, owner of the ranch.

Max's elk made it back just in time
for his graduation party!

Brittany Winter had a very successful elk hunt in February of 2008 in Southern Missouri at Thumper Ridge Ranch. Way to go!

She also checked out a huge elk rub while she was there.
