During our pre season scouting we found some hills and ridges that the elk liked to bed down on in the afternoon. So after our morning hunt we would hike into these hills looking for elk. We did this every afternoon, day after day, seeing no elk in these hills, for 11 days this was our afternoon ritual with no success but hoping the elk would be there. On the 12th day of the hunt,we once again made the steep climb up the hill, as we made our way to the back side of the hill I mentioned to my hunting buddy and excellent elk spotter, the wind is wrong, we are not going to see any elk! We had not walked 50 yards when he said there she is. Directly in front of us was a cow elk broadside with her head down feeding, totally unaware of our presence! I dropped to one knee and ranged her at 35 yards(thanks to my rangesnap) split my 30 and 40 pin and placed it behind her front shoulder and watched the arrow hit its mark! To my surprise she didnt move just lifted her head and looked in our direction, I began to doubt my shot, so i nocked another arrow but before i could get off another shot, she ran down the hill and out of sight! My buddy said you hit her perfect! We retrieved the arrow good blood on it and we went back to camp and got two of our other hunting buddies. When we went to recover her we found her 40 yards from where last saw her! It was a perfect double lung shot! I was one happy hunter! I had harvested my first elk! And I was Thanking God!

Thanks guys! I had a blast hunting elk! I think im hooked on elk hunting!

Love it!

In 2006 I asked fellow CWT members, about good binoculars under $500.00. The Nikon Monarch binoculars were highly recommended. So I purchased a pair of Nikon Monarch 12x56 binoculars, and they are great glass for the money. Fast forward to the 2011 archery deer season, while hunting the right eye cup breaks off, my left one gets dented, the lens get scratched. I remember when I bought them they came with a 25 year NO Fault warranty. They will fix them for $10.00 plus shipping even if its your fault they were broke. So what do I do when I get home from hunting? Nothing! I put the broken binoculars away and forget about them.Until I finally pulled them out on May 3rd of this year and called Nikon. They told me to send the binoculars to them, and they would fix them, So I mail them off the same day. So on Wednesday May 16th, I recieve a Brand new pair Nikon Monarch12x56 from Nikon, with a Letter from Nikon stating they could not fix my Old binoculars so they were replacing them with brand new ones. I say thats one awesome warranty! Here the New Bino's!

We went and picked it up today. Chris at Mount n View did a excellent job!

Thanks for the comments. trophyhntr we didnt have it scored, so not sure what it scores. My son was excited to get it back and on the wall.

You can't go wrong with Slick trick 100 grain magnum! The best out there! And at $23.95 shipping included! Can't beat the price!

Never had the hunt. But was in the area in 2009 and saw a couple nice bucks come off that hunt.

This is what we saw on results page: SpeciesHunt No.Season DatesOpen AreasPermit No.ResultReject DescriptionBULL ELK03134Sep 14 - Sep 27, 2012UNIT 8 ARCHERY ONLYREJECTRejectedCREDIT CARD DISHONORED We knew there was money in the account to cover charges for the elk tags, so we were puzzled why it was dishonored! So Chase bank was called and asked why they denied the charges, here's what Chase bank said: On 3/29/2012 and 3/30/2012 Game and Fish attempted to charge the card but the wrong expiration date was used on both attempts, so the card was denied! Chase bank also stated there were sufficent funds to cover the charges, but with the wrong expiration date they could not approve the charges. This is the same card that was used when we filled out application and the charges went through for that, so I know we entered the right date on the application. So I believe it is quite possible Game and fish made a error when they input the card info to charge the tags! But I guess I'm crying over spilt milk,nothing can be done now! Just wanted to vent!

I am going Elk hunting! Game and fish called, tags approved!!!! Got our second choice Unit 8 archery cow in September!!!

I will know something this week.

Spoke with Game and Fish on Monday. And there is Hope! I will keep you updated!

Only 2 bps. So cow tags will work!

Unit 8 archery early bull and unit 8 cow

Slick trick all the way! I have taken animals as far as 80 yards with them. They fly great!

We got the info from the bank. Showing game and fish entered wrong expiration date! Next step is taking the letter to game and fish. Wish us luck and say a prayer.

Sent you a pm. I will buy the gun.

Its the same credit card we used to fill out the application with. The issue is that the Expiration date on the card is 7/14, when attempt to charge card was processed by Chase,Chase bank recieved card info with 6/14 as expiration date so charges were denied on 3/29and 3/30. I Spoke with game and fish today, they have correct card info with correct expiration date on file, 7/14. So they are not sure why or how the expiration date was changed to 6/14. My next step is to get a print out from Chase showing that the Card info was sent by Game and fish to Chase with wrong expiration date.

Same thing happened to us, We used a Chase visa debit card it always had sufficent funds to cover our tags, but draw results says we were rejected because card was dishonored. I'm wondering why? I think Im going paper app next year! SpeciesHunt No.Season DatesOpen AreasPermit No.ResultReject DescriptionBULL ELK03134Sep 14 - Sep 27, 2012UNIT 8 ARCHERY ONLYREJECTRejectedCREDIT CARD DISHONORED

Tuesday January 10th at 11:10am I arrowed this javelina. I hiked probably 5 miles on Monday and blew two shot opportunities! So Tuesday morning I had glassed and hiked a few canyons until ten am with no luck. So I decided to drive to a different area on my way there I drove through a wash and noticed fresh javelina tracks. So I decided to park my truck and walk the wash. I pulled off the road and turned off my truck and I noticed two javelina about 50 yards out. I got out of my truck and ranged the javelina that stayed put 53 yards easy shot for me! Put my 50 pin on the sweet spot and success!

Coach no wonder it dropped in its tracks! Nice job on the skull.
