(1/7) > >>

yesterday was first day of elk season in New Mexico,, I got to go and took my 66 inch osage self bow,, simmons broadheads and birch 700 grain arrows,,
we had a huge bull come by at about 20 yards,, my friend was in front and got to take the shot,, his bow( osage self bow 62# @ 29") hit a limb on release and the arrow buried into an aspen,, I was happy to have a ringside seat for the action,, at least my bow got close to a bull( I could feel it quiver in my hand or was that me),, my tag is for about 10 more days and I am hoping for more encounters,, its not quite as easy as they show on utube,, :) :) :)

Pat B:
Congrats for the opportunity. I was in Colorado 2 times and never saw an elk. We did hear a few bugle though.

bradsmith2010:
yes the last time I drew a tag, I only saw a cow too far, ,no luck,,this time we got lucky, my friend was a little disappointed,, but I had a great time seeing such a magnificent animal that close,, :) it was great having my self bow along ,, the weather was perfect and the mountain was beautiful amazing,, so  nice trip,, I enjoyed all aspects of the trip, even the painful uphill climbs,, :)  I did kill a couple of stumps just to make sure my bow was sighted in,,, :)

osage outlaw:
Sounds exciting.  I hope you are taking some pictures to share with us.

Lumberman:
Sounds awesome!! I love that ringside view; I got to watch my buddy put an arrow through one's heart in Montana but never got a shot myself. Hunting is hunting even when you are not the shooter, great job and hope you get more of those encounters.
