2003 Archery Elk Hunt

I was lucky enough to draw an great archery elk tag in Utah, my first time putting in. That's right FIRST TIME! Feeling that this was my opportunity at a good bull, I did a lot of pre-scouting and research. In the end I stumbled upon this Bull. He stretched the tape at 366 P&Y. I was able to share this experience with good friends Blake, Matt, my brother Spencer, and best of all my beautiful wife Brooke. Brooke camped out with me, woke up early, hiked all over the mountains, but in the end had to miss the day I harvested this elk, because of work. Thanks Honey for loving me and being my companion in the great outdoors! Also, thanks go out to Blake for your great calling skills, Matt for saving all our backs by bring his horses, and Spence for hauling out those impressively heavy antlers.
