The New York Times has an article today titled    Bowhunters\\' Quest: Stalking an Elk and a Record .  It describes the efforts of an accomplished trad hunter, Rick Duggan,  to take  a Tule elk for entry in the Pope and  Young records.

serious?  thats pretty cool, as long as they put it in for a good reason, not tearing him apart for...."killing"...

That was a pretty good article.  The only thing that I would have liked to have seen was Rick finishing the deal on a Tule.  Nice to see things portrayed in a good light though.

I just read the article. Thought that it was a great article that put traditional bowhunting mostly in a good light. Not what I expect from The Times. Felt a little uneasy though about all the talk about the race between Rick and Fred to attain the Super Slam with a traditional bow.

The New York Times has published many articles on hunting in recent years that are balanced, even positive, toward the outdoor values that many TradGangers share.  They're worth a look and can be found fairly easily with a search engine.
