Special shout out to @Valley1320

Never met the dude until yesterday but he is one class act! He’s one of the reasons that HuntTalk is as good as it is. Friends are created!

That is quite the trip. Hoping to match this performance. Passed a really big mature five point and small six point this morning. They are quite pretty hot.

Yes, I did not plan it that way, but sure did not mind it. I was ready for 9 days of hunting, but the animals had a death wish.

OK, @brownbear932008 Where is the story? Or, have I totally missed it so far?

Thanks @Khunter I absolutely loved the hunt and visiting NM again. I really enjoy all the New Mexico has to offer. Got to see the higher country as well as where the speed goats roamed!

Very pleased with the euro! I’ve been wanting an elk on this fireplace for years!
