Nice elk! Apparently though his vitals are in the opposite end from elk around where I hunt...

Having bowhunted the high country for years, that is probably the most beautiful photo I have ever seen, for so many reasons. _______________________________________________________ An 8 dollar driveway boy living in a T-111 shack LOL

This one was from a few years ago, He was very civilized and lay down nicely in the cut hay field that I stalked him in.

He was trotting through timber and my first & fatal shot hit him just as he was at the dead pine branch on the ground. Looks like he dropped to his knees and slid til he hit the tree he's resting against. Last edited by JSCinNC; 11/12/12.
