My New Mexico elk hunt (previously known as big bull down)
« on: September 21, 2007, 01:46:18 PM »
The boys are back in town.  I knocked a big bull down the first day, ruining Idabooners camping trip.  Details to follow as soon as we get recovered from the journey.  Thanks for all of the positive thoughts from everyone.  My nerves were a bit frayed, but things came together.  lots of FUN memories.  Little short on pics as I didn't want to screw up the bulls too badly before I hunted them, but got to see some gorgeous animals and scenery.
I'll get the details soon!

You tease, at least throw out an estimate as to the score.  Come on dude, I've been wondering how it went.

Still working on pics.  Lots of things to get done before I can get em ready.  The bull grossed 336 and netted 333 (332 4/8).  I got him with the longbow.

congrats, get the pics up.  I ran into your wife thursday at work and asked if you smacked one, she said you told her you got a good one.

Thanks!!!  I didn't get a chance to get Idabooner out there to get a picture of us both in our hats, but he proudly wore it.  Here he is totally enjoying camp, mixing his mountain music with our camp pets which didn't seem to mind his playing as they kept bugling away.
