I wish the contest had a couple more days. I just harvested my late season archery bull here in NM on Dec. 17th. Congrats to the winners!

Yep, some great bulls taken this year. Congratulations to all who got to enjoy the great elk outdoors this year, regardless of whether you brought anything home with you. Every year that goes by just makes me appreciate another year that much more. I hope to still have my fondest seasons ahead of me, but still not sure why they always say once you hit 50 it's all downhill from there. At that point, I'm pretty sure it's uphill going both ways.

Nice job and congrats to everyone involved! I looked through every photo and I definitely agree with #1...it's a magazine cover quality shot. It's amazing how much work goes into quality trophy photos, and especially with elk, some pure luck in having them fall in a photogenic location. In my experience the best photos emphasize the experience and the animal and deemphasize or completely exclude the hunter, but that's just me!

Real nice pictures all around.

Great pics everyone thanks for sharing. Hope to add one next year myself.

Humph, I was getting a little worried! I see your email in my inbox and will get with you shortly. Thanks
