Awesome bull! A mighty fine achievment for a guys first trade kill! Where does one go from there?

Steve, curious to know, did you use the services of a guide or was this a do it yourself hunt? If you used a guide would you PM me a contact number or info as I have been looking for a good guy in Arizona. Thanks.

Congrats again Steve. You'll have to bring that rack to the MBH banquet this May to show off in person.

I hope Steve posts his story here sometime that I got to preview before it went to our State bow hunting organization magazine. It was a very informative and well written article on an out of state, "do-it-yourself" hunt.

Hunt It--this was a DIY hunt.  I had hunted turkeys in the same unit a few years back so I had some familiarity with the area.  We did luck out though as the fellow we rented the cabin from was a die hard elk hunter and helped us learn a lot more about the area real quick.  He even went out with us a the first couple days to get his "fix".

Geez Steve, thats an awesome bull. Being Im in full time prep mode for this elk season, this reeally stokes the fire.

My wife accused me of being obsessed with elk. Really? me?

I have just a little bit of gear to finalize things for this fall, and the truck leaves MI Aug 22nd.

Not a better feeling in the world than being deep in elk country, and hearing that first bugle.

Holy smoke Steve.  Where did you find this?  What a great memory.  Good luck to all the elk hunters, especially you on your retirement trip John    :thumbsup:  


This is one of my favorite pictures from that trip:


 

They delivered the crate on a semi!  I just got back from the Daddy/Daughter dance with the little girl in there who is now almost 12    :eek:   Where does the time go?  


This is how he ended up in the house:


 


And this is one of my momentos, scrimshawd by my good friend Marv Clyncke:


 


He only had one Ivory.  I've meant for a long time to get a ring made, but it just sits in the drawer.  I need to get on that.
