I moved to the PNW to hunt elk...basically no other reason!
I killed my first bull like 4 days into bow the first season I lived here,(2007) ,,so 4 days of elk...
I was in Iraq fall 2008
I killed my 2nd elk about an hr into opening morning of bow 2009... Soooo, I moved here July 2007 to elk hunt and Ive had 5 days of it since

I tell ya what was AWESOME!!! I spent a week tagging along with Tmike on his lil Naches tag hunt and DAMN...we were covered up in bulls...we were calling em in from 3 directions at one damn time...on multiple occasions!! now...forget woody...I had to resort to self abuse mid-buggle!!
I cant freakin wait til bow elk 2010 -
PS- Im just back from a bow for pig trip and got to test all my gear..man am I happy with those Shuttle T locks (Chris Titan turned me onto them and I cant thank him enough) they eat regular old blades for breakfast like hitting a soda can with a sledge hammer!
