First bull elk with my recurve UPDATED WITH NEW PICTURE -Pg. 4

Joe, if you are still waiting for a mount 18 months after the fact, you need to go get your horns and hold onto them..something ain't right bud.

Beautiful mount, Dan....thats a keeper! It's amazing how you look at your animal and get transported back not only to the sights but the sounds and smells...every time I look at my Gila bull I hear the wind in the Ponderosas up on the continental divide, the smells of the junipers, the clean crisp air in the morning, the pungent smell of 'barnyard' that a rutting bull gives off...man, is it tag application time yet???????

Very nice!

Thanks for the compliments guys, I really appreciate them.
   Joe I am with Ray you definitely have to check in to that situation. Hopefully you will get it back soon with out any problems but I would definitely be doing some checking.
    Ray I know what you mean! Having the mount here is so new that I am looking at all day long and reliving all the aspects of last years hunt. That in turn gets me really fired up for this fall. The Wyoming app has been sent with several more to follow shortly!!!  Dan

By the way, Dan...I have that same Jack Paluh print in my study at home of the big buck getting shot by the Native guy...very cool.

Wow,

I'm surprised I didn't see this earlier. Great story Dan and congratulations on a super animal that you stuck to your goal with. That's quite an accomplishment.
