Yeah!  I can imagine my arrow clanging through those antlers :'( 

I always forget on those big boys - aim at the spot not the antlers!!!  Guess that's why I'm not Chuck Adams or Randy Ulmer :) 

I'd trade four or five of mine for that one - Sweet!
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

5 years hunting.  Finally SAW an elk last year, and no luck on closing the distance within 85 yards.  On the bright side, I got my boots broken in pretty good!

Hunted elk HARD for 10 years. O for 10. I'm the guy who dosn't get drunk, goes to bed early, gets out before daylight, and stays out all day. For some reason I always end up dragging other peoples elk to our camp. Even the FNG harvested in our camp several times. :dunno: Big bulls come to those who wait!
     Oh yeah, I wouldn't trade any of those days spent out in the cold with elk out of range or behind the brush with no shot and not pulling the trigger for ANYTHING! Good luck to all this season, as I need a #$%load!

This is year 6 and so far the score is Elk 5 me 0. I have been close but we all know that doesn't count. I have missed 3 times. Twice shot over and one under. With the toutle tag this year I think My hard work all these years will finally be paying off.

Year 3 for me. 0 elk. 3 blown stalks. I have been lucky and have seen them every year but I just cant seem to close the deal. Im guessing that I will have them figured out by the time I am 60  :chuckle:
