    Out of 6 of us we have got one elk already. There is me and my 3 sons and a friend and his son. His son is 18 and shot his first elk with a bow. It was pretty cool. I take off again Tuesday thru Saturday. See how things go.

    I will have him send them over to me. It was a spike so nothing to jump up and down about. But to shot any elk with your bow is an accomplishment. In are area it is spike and cow only, unless you draw a big bull tag. I will see what I can do on pictures.

    I'd jump up and down over a big spike bull myself. Can't wait to see a picture.

    Awesome - keep the updates coming!

    I'd shoot a spike if I could...most will never understand how hard any elk with a bow can be...Congrats to your son!
