Hey guys,
Happy Hunting Season!
Its good to have goals right? Well, I set one this year, a pretty lofty one at that. In fact, the goal was one that even a few buddies laughed at. I've hunted elk for quite a while, I believe this season is my 14th consecutive season where I've chased elk around the mountains. During this time I've had many awesome encounters, experiences and even some success along the way. However, I've never been able to close the deal on a "BIG" bull. Now, big is certainly a tough thing to characterized, but I've always thought of a 350 class archery bull as my personal "Holy Grail". I've come close with bulls that I've harvested, I've come close on bulls that I've hunted, but have never been able to close the deal on one of these monster bulls. So what was this crazy goal of mine?....700" of elk this year. Crazy huh...not only did I have my eyes set on my own personal "Holy Grail", but I wanted to get it done and then repeat it. Well, needless to say, the first leg of the season is over and I'm well on my way to "700". Next week, I'm embarking on the second leg of my elk season, New Mexico. I'll have three days to scout and five days to hunt. Anything north of 330 will get me to my goal, it will be tough, but doable! Here's to "700", wish me luck!
