Outstanding Mike, and Congratulations!  Thanks for taking us along.

Any chance you will make it to Glenn Rinehart's PBS Shoot this weekend or his UBI Shoot next?

Thanks guys! Knowing all of you guys on here like it means more than you know. If I had enough elk steak to go around I'd surely share. Knowing that I don't and seeing how it wouldn't be fair, I'll just keep it and toast you all  :)  

Rick I have chores to catch up on this weekend and a church picnic on Sun but the shoot next sounds good! I'll check the website. Hope to see you there!

Bill! Hope you have a story to tell from your hunt next time we see each other. I know you will!Thank you for your kind words. I enjoyed telling the story in pictures and words. See you soon pal!

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Great story Mike and wonderful job on the picture taking.
It's just fun being in among the elk even if you don't connect,
but you managed to do both. Congratulations.

Enjoyed it immensely.

Thanks,
Ron

Another blurb about my hunt...I picked up a left over cow tag at half price and a left-over deer tag for Region J. All I had to do was buy a habitat stamp and an archery license. All in all the hunt was as cheap as my previous OTC archery hunts in Colorado minus my airfair and a little room/board money. I managed to store my meat in a friend's freezer and I have another friend hunting mulies near there next week who is driving. He agreed to pick up my meat and hide as well as the 3 rattlesnake skins that I got in exchange for an elk steak dinner. Fair.

If anyone is interested in the place I hunted as far as cow elk or mulies or if you have alot of preference points and plan on drawing a bull tag pm me and I'll be glad to share some info with you about local packers, access fee hunts, etc.
