American Hunter is not the church, but here I am confessing anyway. I have a passion for elk. It’s probably more than a passion (no intervention yet), but nevertheless, a couple decades back, with my urging, our family uprooted from the outdoor heaven of South Dakota to jump borders into next-door Wyoming. My wife was more than willing to adopt a change in lifestyle. My reason was simple: I wanted to live near the mountains and hunt elk as much as possible.
