That is beautiful and congrats!

YOu know, I have always liked hunting "animals" of all kinds, but elk always has taken a back seat to moose for me...but this year, I was close!!! to several bulls including one super thumper. Can't say as I would rather hunt elk than moose, but I can now see the alure. Already working on next years elk hunt.
My "Big" brother and my nephew were actually more excited than I was. That did  me good as this was there first big game travel adventure.

 Well done Joe! Maybe you best take up knife building - you gotta alot of handle material. I'm sure your better half is looking to see you find another use for all those racks.

REAL GOOD!

Really good bull! Major congrats to ya.

Joe, as always you make it happen. Thanks for taking us along.

         

I apologize for being late to see this, but really want to say congratulations Joe! You're the kind of bowhunter (and man) I'll always bet on to do the job and do it with style! Enjoy the steaks my friend.

Thats awesome brother...congrats my friend!            

Way to go Joe. I hope to blood my Grizzly Instincts on some fall whitetail.

Congrats!

Awesome animal!  Way to go Joe!      

Congratulations on a beautiful elk!

Way to go Whip! Congrats on a fine bull!!

Nice job Joe!

P.S. I need to talk to you about next year!

That shot is difficult because of the time spent  motionless. Congratulations on your success and a fine bull.

Well done Joe, congratulations!    

Wow! Great job Joe! You are giving Bill's new Broad heads a work out!

Had to read it again.

Congratulations Brother, well done. I'm planning to go on my first elk hunt next year. Gotta get myself in shape first thing. Always wanted to, but never have decided to do it. At 58 years old I think it's time before I look up and I'm 68, lol....

Excellent point Charlie, and one that I preach to people all the time.  Read my tag line below - it's one of my favorite quotes and one that I try to follow faithfully.   :D
