At some point over the last couple of years I told Joe that he needed to let me borrow his Golden Horseshoe.  I'd hunted that unit before and for him to go 3 for 3 in there is strong.  Well, I'd forgotten all about that comment and when I texted Joe from WY after I'd shot my bull, his reply "I want my Horseshoe back!"  Boy did that crack me up.

Joe, seeing your reverance for the opportunity to just spend time in such a wonderful slice of elk country makes it clear....you ARE the Golden Horsehoe.

Good show, my man, good show.

Beautiful Country, Joe.  Thanks for taking us along.  You do it right.      

Great hunt!  Thanks for sharing.

Sorry for your loss. Condolences to your family.

Great photos, looked to be a wonderful hunt. My thoughts are with you and your family.    There is always next year!

I'm with you Whip, I love New Mexico and elk season....  no better place to be in September...

Awesome story and pictures! Sorry for the loss of your sister-in-law...

Thanks Joe, I always look forward to your hunts. Great pictures and commentary! Sorry for your loss.

 Welcome home. Thanks for the tell Joe. Great write up. I laughed out loud when I read "HE BEDDED DOWN!" Like you I didn't see that one coming!

Sorry for your loss brother.

Thanks Joe, from the pictures it looks like a great place.

Well, I am thinking the elk was gone before you could get into position. Next time give a little cow call, whistle, or whisper, "get up you ...."

I have had similar situations, and being so close is more of a disadvantage, especially when they are looking at you.

Best wishes to the family.

Pretty heavy stuff all around. Thanks for the view. All.the best to you and Irene.

Thanks for the hunt Joe.  My deepest sympathies to your family.

Man Joe I like your attitude about hunting when things get slow.  That is some beautiful country. What big town are you closest to in that country?
