My friends and I are DIY horseback elk hunters.  We usually hunt different parts of Colorado.  Last fall a friend of mine from the Wide Rack Ranch in southern Ohio, Mike Connett, told me about a good elk hunt he and his friend went on in New Mexico.  They both took nice bulls with bow.  We decided to put in for this hunt.  We ended up drawing our tags although I didn’t really expect to.  So, Lord willing we’ll wait for 2009 to go back to Colorado.  The picture is my son Thomas and I in 2004 with two elk that my friend Rick Browning and I took.  Two bulls in 3 days with our Mathews bows.  Wow!
