        Way to go. Nice. Next time though, try to smile:D.

        I believe you’re a happy guy.

        Once again, congrats.

                having been close to live elk frequently in MT, I cannot imagine what might go thru one’s mind when walking up to such a pile of meat and hide if you were alone like Whip was the other year…

                It makes these ole bones ache just to imagine…right after the adrenalin rush wears off!

                Yeahawwww.

                Congrats…you look pretty happy to me!

                              Alright! Great Bull!

                              I was wondering when some critters would start showing up. How about a story? What state?

                                            Thanks All

                                            Im shooting a old Checkmate Crusader 54@28. My arrow was a three rivers carbon: I usually use woods, but I didnt get a new set made up this year, so I went with carbons. The Broad head was a magnus. I will get the story put to paper soon.

                                                            Congratulations on your success with the longbow!
