Huh? Elk hunting in NM is a joke and it sucks. It's so hot and dry. No elk there.

Yeah!! You're right don't hunt NM. No elk! Just let the rest of us hunt there! I like to hunt in places other's think sucks!!

Nice bull, nice euro, and great story. Many years ago had a bull at about 15' bugling at us as we were sitting on the ground, pretty intense.
