I am finally going elk hunting again! It has been about 4 years since I drew a Wyoming elk tag and I was unsuccessful on the bull tags again this year, but I put in for a leftover cow tag and I got one! My brother is a Wyoming resident so we will finally get to hunt elk together again. I am one happy guy today!

Good luck Dave! Im sure you'll have a blast. One of these days Im going to get to hunt elk. Whats your set up going to be?

Bull, cow, doesn't matter - elk are special animals and you have a great trip in front of you. To spend time during September in the mountains, chasing elk, with your brother...... life doesn't get much better than that!
Have a great time!

Have fun and take pix. Shoot straight if you get the chance, and take the time to enjoy the world around you.

Hey all,

Thanks.

I will either be shooting a 60# Pronghorn with sitka spruce arrows and 160 Journeyman or a 60# Silvertip with Beman 400s and a 145 Eclipse.

Frank, one of your neck knives and one of your belt knives will be with me.

Sounds like a visit with Iron Bull should be on the agenda- you'll be right in his back yard! Well worth the time if you can....

Congrats, Dave! I'll be heading to CO in 2008 with a very good friend for my first elk hunt - don't know how I'll make it as I can hardly wait now. BTW, was that you that I bought a Colorado Bighorn takedown from a bunch (10???)of years back? (60" 65# @ 30") Seem to remember your name. Great bow - I just sold it to another guy who will continue it's journey.

Morebows,

It could be my old Bighorn. I used to shoot that kind of weight before wore out the cartilage in my shoulder.

I am geeked because I used to live in Wyoming and hunted this area a lot. It is a homecoming of sorts, plus my brother and I get to spend some time on the mountain again.

Good luck Dave. Wish I was doing the same. Grant

Dave,
I checked last night-I still have the box for storing stuff and it was your bow. Kind of wish I hadn't sold it (wish I had a dollar for everytime I've said that!) - it was the only Bighorn I've ever owned.
Take care and have a good hunt

Dave:

Enjoy your hunt. Hunting elk with your brother--doesn't get much better than that.

Ill be hunting with a long time friend in Oregon the last week of August. We are both counting the days.

Thanks all, it is going to be great. I have some other great hunting buddies, but it is tough to beat hunting with your brother. During the 4 years I lived in Wyoming we probably spent 50-60 days/year actually hunting or fishing and many more chasing rock chucks or prairie dogs. Great memories and more to be made.
