Nice pile of elk Whip and beautiful bow. Be pretty cool to run your CS broadhead through one this September huh?

I wish I had as good of field pics as Whip but unfortunately I don't.  I got to get better at that.  Good luck to all of you who are going this year, won't be long now!.....Shawn

Is there anywhere that you can legally hunt for a spike bull? We are hoping to go out west hunting next year or the one after and I have always thought that a spike bull would make a nice mount. Mike

Mike, most units in NM are "any one elk" so spikes, calves, cows whatever are fair game.  
PS: Sorry my photo is so large I tried to resize it but I am idiot when it comes to photobucket I guess!

Mike,

Utah has a lot of cow or spike elk tags.  The big bull tags are hard to come by, but the spike tags are significantly easier.

Do you ever shoot at the Harrison 3D range?

WOW! 4 yards!? I would have to change my draws, but it'd be worth it.

X2 on what Whip said ... get those pictures posted Randy!!!  I need to have something to aspire to this fall!
To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.
