Outstanding! Make the best of it and aim small when the opportunity presents itself, hopefully a big old herd bull with a nice broadside presentation.    ;)

Beautiful country, great wapiti hunting and an osage selfbow in your hands...good stuff! Looking forward to reading about this hunt. I keep hoping I'll draw it one year.

make sure you look them over good and don't settle - there are some brutes in there as I am sure you already know.  Best of luck to you!!!

Wow, that's like winning the lotto. I used to live in Trinidad, CO and would occasionally drive to Red River, NM. Elk everywhere.

That's gonna be one heck of a special bow! A perfect way to honor your friend! Can't wait to see the bow and read the story of your Once-in-a-lifetime hunt. Congrats on the draw!

What bow length and draw weight might you be shooting for?  Or will you let the osage dictate that?  Just curious.
