My wife killed her first elk tonight!!!
« on: October 06, 2012, 11:44:54 PM »
My wife's been hunting elk with a bow for 6 years with no luck.  I talked her into going muzzie with me this year for deer and elk.  This evening we spotted a nice 4 point buck and started to stalk it when we spotted 2 spike elk on the hill in between the buck and us.  Plans changed and we went after the elk instead.  She put one through the neck and dropped it where it stood.  I'm so damn proud of her!!! First my muzzie buck this week and now her spike, WHAT A GREAT WEEK!!!  Sorry about the bad picture I would have thought the Iphone worked better in the dark...

Nice Like to see the women get into hunting!!!!
"When my bow falls, so shall the world. When me heart ceases to pump blood to my body, it will all come crashing down. As a hunter, we are bound by duty, nay, bound by our very soul to this world. When a hunter dies we feel it, we sense it, and the world trembles with sorrow. When I die, so shall the world, from the shock of loosing such a great part of ones soul." Ezekiel, Okeanos Hunter
