There's something about elk and stickbows that just works well.

I'm new to the trad side of things.  I've killed two elk with the wheelie bow.  I hope some day I'll have the skill and confidence to try the trad bow that I don't own yet.   :)   Maybe even one I make.

I wish I had started carring a camera sooner in my hunting......

Did you do a story on your bull Ryan?  If so, I missed it while I was in the mountains myself.  If you did, I'd love to read it - that's a great looking bull!

Man, you guys just had to go and start a ruckus in my brain. How am I supposed to go to sleep with those pictures running through my brain?

Nice elk everyone!

Here is the end result of 21 hours of elk hunting. Two were killed with longbows, one was killed with a recurve.

The biggest of the three was killed by my wife with her 52-pound longbow. (Derned girly luck!)

Oops, I accidentally posted the large version of that photo. Here is the 640 x 480 version. I have a feeling Rob will be deleting the large one shortly. . .
