I've been sort of side-tracked from getting serious about elk the last couple years, hunting sheep, big pronghorn, and deer as well as helping out my 2 nephews who are becoming very good hunters.

Growing up in Montana elk were for eating, and I shot the first legal bulls I could find. Its funny digging up these old pictures.
