Wups!! Knew this thread might be a mistake. I'm planning an elk hunt in either Kentucky or Oregon this year (August or September). Could use some credible help. I'll post my own thread after the Ky drawing.

Hornhunter, you just let me know if you need packin' help so long as you alow me to "dogear" a spot or two for future reference  :)

Seriously though, awesome animals you guys. That 3 for 3 is just top shelf though!

Man, you guys are living a dream! If I am ever fortunate enough to go elk huntin' and actually bag a bull elk with my trad bow, I would be ready to die, or at least would be thinking I had already died and gone to heaven! It has been a lifelong dream for me.

Yeah... thanks! Surely there are some more pics to post.

Last year I past on a 5X5 at 15 yards... just not totally clear shot... and called in a monster to within 15 yards of my son (that couldn't get a shot). Called in a total of 6 bulls in 12 days of hunting.

Looking forward to this year as I am doing a pack in 3 week solo hunt.

Good luck all!!!

My picture has the wrong kind of bow in front of it, maybe in about a month or so, I'll have some pictures to post, probably will be a pic of the one my wife shoots, plan on trying real hard to get her a shot this year!

Sure wish I was going west this year.  I got a few friends that I'll be with in spirit, though!

How the heck did I miss this thread?  I just spent 20 minutes browsing it all, Thanks!  I could add a pile in here, so here's a few to keep you movin.  I didn't start shooting a stickbow till about 9 years ago and a lot of my friends still use wheels.  SO, I still have a few I can add.

Randy's has likely been more decorated.  Having grown up here, these are my whitetail.  In fact, I've never taken a whitetail with my bow!

Heres my first without camo. I'm going to try to top this this year, got a trick up my sleeve.
