My friends Rick Browning, Mike Dean, Joe Nemecek, and I have drawn our 2008 elk tags for New Mexico.  We are really excited about this as we have never hunted this state before.  The picture here is me in Colorado last year calling in a 5 x 5 bull that I took with my bow 2 hours after I took this picture.  Rick Browning and I have hunted elk together for 5 or 6 years.  Mike Dean went with us last year for the first time.  This will be Joe Nemeceks’ first time on a horseback Elk hunt.  He is a Cowboy from Oklahoma.  I worry about him being able to “Handle” a trip like this.  You have to be pretty tough……..
