What will he Score?? (Pics)

[elkhunterUT]

I am newly registered on the site, even though I have been reading and viewing posts for quite a while, so I thought I would show you a picture of the spike I shot this year in Utah with my bow (I hope the pictures show up). He is nothing like Greenhorn's, but then again, whose is???

I shot the spike in Utah on 8/27/02. I was sitting in the same treestand that I shot my deer and elk out of last year, which is in a spike or cow only area.It was a little after 7:30 pm and I hadn't seen or heard anything, so I thought I would try to stir something up with a bugle and a few cow calls. Immediately after calling, this spike showed up walking directly towards me. He wandered for a minute down to my right in some trees and I thought I wasn't going to get a shot opportunity, but a soft cow call brought him back in the open heading towards the water hole. He stepped into a large opening at 25 yards and I hit him perfectly. He went only 20-25 yards after the hit and was dead in minutes.

Thanks Everybody!!
He is definitely good eating and it was a blast of a hunt-I love bowhunting elk!!

Anyways, I really do think this is the best hunting forum on the net (good brownie points, huh Moosie??). Everyone is pretty laid back and there are no A-holes like some of the others. Thanks for the welcome!!
