why did you shoot one with an uneven number of points? After deductions -its what- a 230 class bull?
 Can you chew the steaks on that thing?????


  :bigsmyl:  


congrats  :)

  :campfire:    :archer:  

ps: cow elk taste better than bull elk - and someday I will shoot a bull elk and prove it!!!!

I know, I know, Brian. Believe me, when he was about 5 feet away from me as I cringed behind one of those junipers waiting for him to walk past so I could shoot...that's all I was thinking was...."should I...he's so uneven...maybe I should hold out for something a little higher scoring?" -  N O T T T T T !!!!!!

  :scared:    :smileystooges:    :saywhat:    :knothead:    :biglaugh:  

And at 10 1/2 years old, he ate better than anything I've ever had...can't wait to shoot some cows!!!

I had been wanting to ask you where you shot him.  That is a great bull.  Maybe I'll draw the Gila this year.

Ray,  I've had the plantar fasciitis myself and it's no walk in the park.  If you haven't got it under control yet I wish the best for you.  Great elk BTW!!!!

whooeee, OH at work

I've only felt one other pain as bad- eye got scratched badly one time....other than that this stuff is nasty.

You don't realize until you injure your back or your feet just how they affect everything you do in life and how important their health is to your quality of life.

Hey Ray,
plantar fasciitis CAN heal. I have had it off and on for years. There isnt much you can to speed it up except to try and get rid of the inflammation. I used a plastic soda bottle filled with water frozen
and every night sit down for twenty minutes or so and roll the bottle under your foot and just let the round part sit under your heel. If nothing else it does make it feel better.
By the way, you got me drooling over one of those antler risers. Do they shoot as good as they look?
Are they the same geometry as their other bows?
Ill bet that riser has some serious mass.
thanks,
brent

If its built by Bob Thompson it shoots fantastic...I have never held one, Brent so I don't know for sure but I suspect that they have exactly the same geometry and limbs would be interchangeable.

I may be wrong...and I may never know as they are scarce as hen's teeth...but I keep hoping.

I would think it would weigh a little more than the wood risers but not too bad. I'll let you know

Thanks, Terry...

Lloyd Johnson of Master's Wildlife Services in Washington, GA did a fantastic job on it for me!

A once in a blue moon animal deserves to be remembered in a special way and Lloyd is the man for that, believe me.

If I killed a critter like that I`d have to remodel the front room. Mainly the front door cause I don`t think it would be wide enough to get him inside.What did you do Ray cut a hole and drop him through the roof?

It MIGHT be that the antlers make my butt look small...but actually that was taken during a very short-lived "thin" phase in my life! The only other one I can recall was in the late 70's when I rode a bike 15 miles a day and ate nothing but TAB and four corner Cheese Nabs for a year.
