Got the good news I will be elk hunting this year

Nothing like drawing a quality tag!!!


Your not kidding about that. Hoping this is the hunt after some hard hunting ends in a good 6x6 over 300 inches. Seen many over that mark when I had my son deer hunting there. I think I will have a bear tag to as there is a few walking around.

Mike b turkey in the cabin yard seems like the signs of a good turkey hunt coming up.
 
Good luck.
 
Well I leave next week to chase some elk. Have a few days to scout before me and friend hit the hills. He sends me a picture of a bull and all I can say is wow. He has to make it through the first muzzy season for us to chase him but it is a big bull year in new mexico.

Yep! That is a very nice bull bill. Go get one!
 
By the way.....do you hunt your elk in a Pink Shirt?
 
Best of luck Billc!
 
Yeah thats a heck of a bull!
 
Great bull Bill! I'm heading to NM this morning to take my boys on ML hunt. I was over in AZ a couple weeks ago and found this bull that I'm going to concentrate on.

Just south of Livingston, east side of the Paradise Valley in the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness Area. Going Nov 12-19 and taking my son-in-law for his first elk hunt.

Hunting with Rising Son Outfitters (http://www.huntinginmontana.com/ ) and this is my 8th hunt with them since 2001.

This is my 6x7 I took in 2007 archery season, with Rising Son Outfitters. This is my favorite and most meaningful trophy of all!

Thanks everyone and looks like a few have the elk bug. It is a great year for big bulls in new mexico. Just hope the pressure for first muzzy hunt does not push some of the big bulls to the deep nasty stuff but we will go to were there at.

This bull is a 380 class bull on public land.

Cody that looks like a good bull to be chasing that you found.
 
Congrats Bill, Have a great time be sure and post pictures and a report.
 
It's great tag Bill, best of luck!
 
If we could make ground up elk antler a commodity, based on the size of the bulls in the above pics, you guys could pay for your hunts by selling elk antler powder! I am sure it would cure all sorts of ills!
 
Congrats and best of luck! I can't wait for them to start the elk lottery here in NC.
