...Hunting elk that is...
September looks to be a busy bow season for me. I'll have my regular trip to Spearhead for goats and mulies and then my year of the elk begins! In addition to hunting wapiti at West Boulder Ranch with Doug and Jeff, I have just been notified by North Dakota Game and Fish that I have drawn a once-in-a-lifetime elk tag for ND. Wooohooooo!!!!!! :bigsmyl:
Needless to say, I'm starting my weekend with a grin that's ear to ear! Only 575 tags are issued annually and I feel very blessed to have one of them. Now if I'm really blessed, I might just need a new freezer. That would be down right amazing :biglaugh: !

Claudia,
I just saw a picture of a GIANT North Dakota bull. It was a tremendous picture. I'll try to find it and post it up for you for inspiration :thumbsup:
Claudia, I knew I could count on you for guidance with my first elk adventure :) tippit
tough duty, Claudia....Good Luck! :thumbsup:
Congrats Claudia, I wish you the best. :clapper:
You have been blessed with good fortune. Hope you need two freezers this year.
G'luck...PICK A SPOT, enjoy the time afeild!!!
Claudia,
I sent you a personal email, please disregard it. One of my friends was also drawn for an elk tag and I got the information from him. Congratulations on your successful draw and enjoy your fall!
Congrats Claudia!
Very cool Claudia. Better order the freezer, we all know how you hunt!
Congrats, Claudia, on your draw. I wish you all the best of luck on your journeys.
Thanks everyone!
Tippit, I can't wait to see the smile on your face when you hear those bulls screaming at you on the mountain. It will be like nothing else you have ever experienced in hunting...and I'm glad that I'm gonna be there with you and Doug for the whole adventure.
But for now...looks like I better hit the treadmill. Those elk can live in some serious country!
Claudia
:thumbsup: Sounds like some good stories in the making! Can't wait. Good luck too ya!
What a month that is going to be! Truly a dream season - any one of those hunts would be the envy of all of us. And you get to pack them all into one fall!
Wow, thats a big deal I've seen some amazing elk in the Killdeer Mountains & in the Medora area all on public land. There is over a million acres of national grasslands out there.
Have Fun,Phil
Looking forward to pics and the story.
Oh man, this is gonna be some GOOD reading here!
I can't wait to read and see all the pictures of your adventures this fall. Hit the treadmill a lick for me, as well!
Oh yeah, congrats on making your own good luck in this lifecycle, too. Planning and hard work, combined with common sense and a horseshoe lead to the time and opportunity to do the good stuff.

Here you go Miss Pinecone...

I can't wait to see your smiling face in a picture like that. What beautiful country!
You may want to look up Mr. Pitts for some intel.
Claudia, I really enjoyed your recent antelope article in the PBS magazine. Since you, Doug and Jeff are all PBSers, it sure would make a great article for the magazine again after your Montana adventure! Good luck and maybe I'll see you out there in September as I'll be in the "neighborhood".
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :clapper:
Congrats Claudia,
Based upon what I've read I'll be looking forward to a great story and many pictures. I wish you all the best on two fantastic hunts and may the winds favor you!
Absolutely can not wait to hear/read the stories that will come from this adventure(s)!
Congratulations....
I'm glad you liked the article, Kevin. You can be sure that this Fall's trips will have to be memorialized in print...especially the one with Doug and Jeff!
Steve...yep, that is quite a bull! Be assured, however, that my stickbow and I won't be near as picky. Elk venison is one of my favorites, so all wapiti beware!
Thanks again, everyone for your notes of support.
Claudia
