0:00.0	Hey folks, Randy Newberg here with another episode of Lube Poles Hunt Talk Radio.
0:06.2	Today I'm in Park City, Utah at the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundations,
0:11.6	Elk Camp and Mountain Festival, I think it's called.
0:15.9	And I've been here, this is my third day here right now.
0:21.7	Lot going on here, man, so much excitement, so much activity.
