Thanks guys for the continued posts and compliments. I am going to try and post a couple more pics.  I will post one of me in our hunting area first. I would like to post a couple pics showing my hunting buddy Tom but they would show his compound bow as well. Tom has been a big part of my bowhunting and always will be and that is why I would like to post the pictures but I don't want to violate any forum rules or offend anybody. If one of the moderators sees this could you let me know whether it would be ok to post the pics. I won't post any of those pics unless I get an ok.  Thanks.
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.

Great story! Beautiful Bull. Do you know how many times I've visualized it happening just like your story goes down?  Sounds like those bulls dont get pushed too hard during season.

Thanks for allowing me to tag along through the well-told story that you gave us. What a hunt!

Thanks to all of you who enjoyed the hunt and responded to this thread. Missouri Sherpa I have to say I really enjoyed your elk hunt from the preparation stage right down to the conclusion. Now that I kind of have the picture thing figured out I am going to try and post a picture of one of the rubs we saw. This was not the biggest rub by far but it was the only one I actually took time to photograph.
   If one of the moderators reads this could you let me know whether or not it would be ok for me to post a couple pics of my hunting buddy and his elk. I asked this question earlier on this thread but apparently no one saw the question. The reason I ask is that Tom was using a compound and it would be in the pictures. I would suspect that in general that might be against the forum rules but he was certainly a big part of my hunt. Thanks. Dan

Wow I must have really downsized that picture! Sorry about that but I guess you get the idea. I thought it was just a neat picture against the snowy background. Dan

Just got my bull back from the taxidermist so I thought I would post one final picture of him in his final resting place in my office. It sure is neat to look up at him and be transported back to that crisp September morning!!!

Now you're just rubbing it in!  I've been waiting for mine to come back since Sept. 2005.  Nice bull.  Congratulations.
