I grew up hunting deer and smalll game , but after my first buglin' elk hunt, I bumped them way up on the priorty list. I still hunt the little mulies here in California, but it' s mostly just ot get out and enjoy the time with good friends in the woods. In ten years hunting in CA I' ve onlty taken 2 deer. I don' t typically shoot spikes or small forkeys, so I usually come home empty handed. I also hunt each year with my dad in upstate NY. We typically hunt bucks in upsate and then my Dad draws a doe tag edown state to get some meat. For me, by far, the most enjoyable time I can spend is in elk camp with couple of good buddies. In the past couple years I have become financially able to hunt out of state and I try to get a tag each year. There is no equal in my mind to hunting elk.

Don' t get me wrong...I' l hunt anytime anywhere!!!!!!!!!!!
