    Yall werent lying....WE DID IT!!

    Congratulations on sticking with it through the tough times and little to no elk sign. The emotions are something else aren't they!? I killed my first elk this year with a bow and there has been nothing else that has ever topped that feeling. Ride it until next year and then come back and get...

    Great Bull! Even Better Wife!

    What an awesome hunt! Congratulations on the great bull and even better experience with your new hunting partner! You may even have to get her a bow now after a hunt like that. Enjoy the meat as I'm sure it will taste better than anything you've ever had because of the hard work.

    Thanks. Yes, I knew instantly that I had to get another arrow in him. Not sure if its from hunting waterfowl so much and knowing when a follow up shot is needed to keep them from getting away, but it seemed like second nature and I was already back on target for the second shot. I think you're...

    Yes, the guy I take them to is top notch he gets busier every year because of his quality of work. This year I got a grinder and dehydrator as well so the only thing I will be paying to get done is summer sausage or snack sticks. I already have a freezer and no longer have a wife so I think I'm...

    Thanks a lot, I saw the pics of your, but to be fair I haven't read it yet but Congratulations to you as well! I was going to try the cow after they all spooked but I never got a shot and was hoping my buddy who was positioned closer to the bull would get a shot at him. I had nothing against...

    Thanks! Yes, I just dropped him off last night to a guy with beetles. Gonna have to wait for a bigger boy to get a shoulder mount.

    Success at Last

    After three years of bow/rifle hunting elk in Montana, I finally managed to notch a tag with my bow. After moving out to Montana from the midwest, elk hunting was an entirely different strategy compared to whitetails and without a mentor it took a while for me to figure them out. Earlier...

    First elk down!

    That is an amazing first elk and a beautiful bull on top of that! You probably won't come down from your high for a few days!!!

    Ducks, ducks, and more ducks

    I see, I grew up in Lucas County so the Southern part of the state must have been the dry area. I know what you mean about too much water, it can be a blessing in spring but a curse in the fall with giving the birds too many options. Everyone needs a warmup shoot, once the big ducks start...

    Ducks, ducks, and more ducks

    That's rough especially as farmers are trying to get crops out, or what's left of them after a hot/dry summer. Hope you all are on high ground.

    Ducks, ducks, and more ducks

    That's some good early season eating there. I didn't know Iowa had such an early season now. What area of the state are you hunting in? I grew up in the south central area and I heard it was pretty dry this year so hopefully the rain fills up the marshes.

    Opening weekend in Sask

    That is quite the variety! Looks like some great hunting. As much as I love walking all over creation hunting elk, not much beats great days like you had. Good luck on your elk hunt!

    need some help

    By mid September those loner bulls will most likely be with the cows and trying to gather and keep as many as possible for themselves. They just haven't gotten the urge to get crazy yet. I saw a couple bulls on the Montana opener for archery a few days ago by themselves and completely...

    Congratulations! That's a great start for this year.
