first day of second archery season in NM, I didnt hear or see any elk. I moved sat to a different part of unit. We had a big rain day before opener. I felt like elk would move to some favorite areas that had been totally dry prior to this rain. I got there at first hint of light and after moving a suitable distance from my car I gave a single bugle. Got an answer close, maybe 100 yds. I quickly moved to better cover and gave a soft cow call. 3 minutes he walked into a lane, 43 yd broadside, and he tipped over within sight. I am 71 and still gettin it done, (with a lotta luck...)

Ain’t that the truth, of the 5 Colorado bulls I’ve seen this year their entire rack counts like one tine on those Canuck bulls.

Mark and Dave have visited our Camp for the last 2 years, they are both in their mid 70s, great guys. Dave has Rheumatoid Arthritis, struggles on the Mountain. This is Mark's first elk, KHNC and I packed most of it out for him and Dave, who called me when he killed it. Unfortunately, it's the only blood we got on our hands in WY this Season.

I'd made the decision ahead of time that a cow wouldn't be passed this season. Saturday morning, medium sized cow, wide open at 25 yards and slightly quartered to, I wasn't passing up the gift of elk in the freezer.
I didn't have time to take my usual pile of photos. She was in the sun needing moved. It was all I could do to get her slid down hill and into the shade on my own. Actually the sliding down hill part was easy. It was directing where she slid and stopping her that wasn't. :)

After 3 years of not being able to chase elk due to health issues it was great to get back at it again. To top it off I got an elk on the second morning. I decided since I hadnt been able to go for a while the first one in bow range was getting shot. Clean hit, quick recovery, long day packing out.

Before we all cry with Jim over his lack of elk, let's take a moment to realize he's going to hunt something like 180 days for the year of 2023. I'm having a hard time feeling too sorry. . . . :)
