For Dirt2 I'd just like to try and clear up a couple of things for you. 1) I have hunted the same ranch that Chuck has hunted elk on and the elk are wild and free ranging. The only fences there are 5 strand barbwire for cattle. It also has a good population of elk and the herds are continuing to increase. 2) The mysterious guide is my friend and we have hunted together for elk on this ranch that has private and public land. He is also a bow hunter. He is not rich or famous and doesn't want to be. 3) Just because a bull comes from NM or AZ doesn't mean it is going to be a world record. The elk in MT have continued to grow in number and as proven in size. The genetics are good in the area of the Missouri breaks and the Bull Mountains where these elk have migrated from. You may want to look up some records taken from that area. 4) If you want to know what animals Chuck Adams has taken you could look in a Pope and Young record book for all the details. To be entered in the P&Y record book I believe that the animal must be taken under fair chase rules. No animal that is penned will qualify. (I may be wrong on this).

As for Craig Boddington, I have never heard of him in the bow hunting area. I have heard of Glenn St. Charles and Fred Bear as the old timers and the newer ones I have heard of are Greg Getchow(? spelling) and Chuck Adams.

I believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I would just like to see you give credit where credit is due. I have the same opportunities of harvesting a world record elk as Chuck Adams does but I have a hard time passing up a medium size bull to wait for a bigger one. I am quite sure that he has to pass up a few big bulls to get to that world record elk.

I hope this has maybe answered a couple of your questions, and as bow hunters we can stand together and agree to just disagree on some issues but remain united as bow hunters.
