Chad congrats, I myself am still holding out for a big to nice bull, Ihave seen many elk so far and have passed a lot of cows and several small bulls. I still have a week and a half to hunt towards the end of the season. During the first three days we were into manyherds of cows with spikes.On the third dayone of my twopartners couldn't take it anymore and decided to take a cow. Its his first archery elk so we were all excited for him. The tender loins sure did taste good in the duch oven that night!
