Keenan, It was killing me to pass on a hunt with Gordan. We went last year and it was a great time. My wife said if I went she would have a yard sale and sell all my hunting and fishing stuff, then change the lock on the front door. After a week of thinking about it I decided I would miss my fly rods too much.

Great job on the bull.  Nice bow as well, although I had to get my magnifying glass out to really see it...lol. Thanks for sharing the story. It inspires us all when we hear stuff like that. I don't know of a man here that has'nt hunted elk that does'nt long to some day, myself included.  Danny

Amasing story Greg. Congratulations on your first primitive harves, sounds like your stars were well aligned. Thanks for the story and can you get Pics. I know if Gordon helped you with the bow it must be awsome but cant see it in the little pic.     kenneth

Greg, while I was bummed you could not join me for the Eagle Cap hunt this year, I am delighted and proud that you were able to take such a fine animal with a bow that you made from your own hands. It was clear when I hunted with you last year that you are a gifted archer and hunter – I’m not surprised that you pulled this off. I hope you do not mind, but I scanned the pictures you sent me and posted them here so folks can gain a better appreciation for your accomplishment. Way to go buddy!

  Greg, Congratulations on a fine first Elk and a great looking bow. If Gordon was your mentor it had to be a great bow. That camo you are wearing is different, what brand is it?

greg, beautiful bow, but that story is really something, man. i heard elk tastes a little sweet, and very rich, always wanted to try it! Iwas walking back from my stand thursday, mad because I didnt see any deer, but happy because I had a longbow in my hands, i used a compound all of last year. anaways, I was walking in tall grass and snapped a dead twig, so i waited, thought i heard something-long story short, it was crazy hot that day, and the deer wern't moving. a basket rack MAYBEEE 15 feet away popped up from his bed in the tall gras and bolted into the woods 1o yards away, nearly crapped my pants though :D thats an awesome hunt though, hopefully you and that selfbow can get some more good huntin time. -jimmy
