Hey guys - with elk season approaching how bout a trad elk success thread to get us fired up - cows, spikes, bulls, whatever...lets see 'em    

It is coming, and my neck is starting to swell already.  Come on September!!

Nice pile of elk Whip and beautiful bow. Be pretty cool to run your CS broadhead through one this September huh?

Love to see elk on the ground!  One of these days I'll be able to add my own pic!  Keep 'em coming guys.    

Great start to this thread Whip!  Nice pictures with some dandy elk.  I can hardly wait for September!

My mount from my 2010 longbow NM bull!  Killed on a public land DIY hunt in the Gila.  

I wish I had as good of field pics as Whip but unfortunately I don't.  I got to get better at that.  Good luck to all of you who are going this year, won't be long now!.....Shawn

Is there anywhere that you can legally hunt for a spike bull? We are hoping to go out west hunting next year or the one after and I have always thought that a spike bull would make a nice mount. Mike

Mike, most units in NM are "any one elk" so spikes, calves, cows whatever are fair game.  
PS: Sorry my photo is so large I tried to resize it but I am idiot when it comes to photobucket I guess!

Mike,

Utah has a lot of cow or spike elk tags.  The big bull tags are hard to come by, but the spike tags are significantly easier.

Do you ever shoot at the Harrison 3D range?

It'll be a lot more impressive when you put up your pictures Randy!          

Whip, I was just thinking the same thing!

WOW! 4 yards!? I would have to change my draws, but it'd be worth it.
