Dang, all these photos make me jealous. Had my trip planned out and everything but some unforeseen circumstances cancelled my trip
 
My first bull elk and first archery hunt. The wife did some great calling and pulled a herd in range, but I never had a clean shot at the herd bull. He ran off to round up his cows when this nice 5x5 satellite crept in and stopped 30yds broadside. Editing to add that it was in beautiful Northern NM in the National Forest. The 1.5 mile uphill packout at 10k elevation was taxing.

My 16 year old boy is showing me up. He had already passed on some spikes. Pulled him out of school because I new this bull was hitting a wallow. I can't pass an elk up so I was already tagged out on a raggy. I am so damned proud of this boy. He and the bull are beasts.
