My buddy's LE bull and my OTC bull this year. I'll let you guess which is which... No denying we got super lucky this season.

My nephew’s Wyoming bull-first ever bull elk and big game animal with a bow. What a great one to start with!!

Shot a cow last week at 52 yards. And my bull on the 19th at 42 yards. Lots of mass and character on him. First time I saw him he reminded me of a red stag with the crown on top. Montana

Got a calf opening day, someone took mom, watched it for 5 hours before I took it, predator bait. Great meat though, going out this weekend for a unlimited cow tag for archery again. Fill that freezer. 5280 processing did my processing, they did great!

First archery elk. Colorado draw unit. Called in a big one but got busted, ended up taking a satellite at 32 yards.

Took my dad on his first elk hunt. Picked up a bow two years ago, killed it 5 miles in. 25 miles of packing out meat/camp in 36hrs. 63 with two artificial knees. No excuses fellas!

Got it done on the 20th here in Colorado. Cut up the elk in the rain and dark solo. Not fun at all

Montana general archery. First time hunting Montana and it went a lot better than I expected. I seriously underjudged this bull and was willing to shoot something a lot smaller. These Montana bulls really have some mass!

Opening day success in Selway!

My first time there (first time hunting in ID period). Boy that unit was everything it was advertised to be. Steep as hell, brutal, rugged, and full of wolves, lions, and bears.

Had one of my closest buddies right there with me, he and I served in the Marines together. What a special memory!

Glad I didn't pass up this bull because we didn't see another one the rest of the week.

New Mexico bull down. My biggest one taken to date.

Is that a big 5? So dang cool, congrats

Chiming in with my early archery NM 6x6. Shot him right before dark on 9/11 and recovered at first light 9/12 within 60 yards. Solo, DIY from a truck camp. Overweight, out of shape flatlander with a knee that was scheduled for replacement before Covid going 8-10 miles a day finally paid off. Thank God for the neighbors camped down the road with the horse. I could have never gotten him out without them. Packout was just under 2 miles each way. They packed the two hindquarters and one backstrap. I packed the two fronts, a backstrap and the head for three trips total. So many things done wrong as a 58 year old nearly rookie but persistence paid off. Physically, the hardest two weeks I've ever done by a wide margin.

I can't wait for next year, if only I can get a tag.

Cool thing about the bull - his thirds are basically 20" long and the longest points by a good bit. The brows, bez and swords are all like 14" +/- I've looked at a lot of pics and that seems to be an unusual trait. Could not be happier.
