Absolutely incredible photos, guys.  Thanks for sharing.

I'll be making my 1st trip to CO and my 1st elk hunt, in Sept..  As someone else said, earlier......I just wanna walk among them.  If I get a shot, that'll be a bonus.

I'll be purchasing an OTC "either-sex" elk tag and a mule deer tag.  Any elk that isn't "this year's animal" will risk being shot (at).  ANY mulie runs the same risk.

And, NEVER think I'm too proud to have a cow elk mounted......lol.

Please keep the photos coming.  I'm a fan.

I wish that I would have done that with mine. If I get another one I think I will have to do that.

I'm not ready. I hope I DON"T DRAW the limited tag I wanted. I have too many other things going on this year.

Good luck to ya Randy! I hope you kill your big bull right away so you can help me pack out a bison! I hope!

Here is a pic that Tracy(Shedrock)sent me to post of his awesome bull that he got. I am sure that he will give you some more info. What I do know is that he used a Pronghorn   :archer2:

heres a pic of the world record roosevelt archery bull taken by my brother and dale (controversial)in 1985 scored 367 3/8 and.not the record anymore.sadly i had a crack at a bull bigger than this on the oregon coast range in a walk in only area.i was shakin so hard i dropped my arrow on a rock.he was less than twenty yards from me and closing when i dropped the ball.that bull was never killed by a hunter.there are some huge bulls in the oregon rain forest just hard as hell to get close to them from all the brush and holes you gotta climb up and down.

I picked up a left over Region J mulie tag and am waiting on the half-priced cow elk tags to go on sale the 20th for WY. I am chomping at the bit! There are huge bulls there and although I missed my draw this year I am gonna take some awesome pics (I hope) and put a cow in the freezer. I also hope to do a cow elk mount as I have some limited taxidermy skill  :)

It's back to New Mexico for me this year. I even got a TradGanger to go with... the old Knappster himself, Woody Blackwell.. Our whole group of 4 drew this year. Applications were way down in NM apparently.

Good luck to all hunting elk this season!

I didn't draw a limited tag, and probably won't buy a general tag this season. I have too much on my plate already this year.

Go get 'em guys!
