Congradulations Mark!

  First blood with the new Shrew!
Any Elk with Traditional gear is a trophy in my book.

Thanks Pat.  I was worried I might jinx myself with the naming of my new bow but it turned out just the opposite.

Great job!!!    

Congrats!!  Thats a fine bull, thanks for sharing.  Joe

Congrats! A fine elk and great pictures and story.

My dream.....

Great story and wonderful pics.

 Well Done!!!!  

Well done mate, thanks for the efforts of posting!


ak.

Great write up there MK. Not sure I believe the photo of you smiling while packin Elk or was that a grimace. Did you get your third trophy deer? Need to talk to you about Bear. I have mega stories from this year....nothing on the ground. later my friend congrats  

Nice mark!  Like I said when I was up there.  Don't know why you would want to hunt anywhere else.  Again great job mark!

Congrat's! Mark.........Nice Bull.

It's a great feeling, isn't it? I shot my first on Thursday last week....guess we both are now in the minority.
 

Congrats!....The Wensel Woodsman strikes yet again!!!

great stuff and thats a great bull!  I can remember that feeling of first trad bull too.  You'll never forget it.   Sounded like a good  hunt, thanks for taking the time to write it all up.  Its always intriguing to hear how others do it, how they spend their days on the mountain.

Way to close the deal on your last day.  Love those dark coloed antlers!

Very nice

That's what I want to accomplish with my Classic Hunter too. Great work, Mark!
