azelkhunter69 Report post Posted September 12, 2017 Amazing story, hunt, bulls, location, etc. You guys are lucky to have access to all the things, and people, that made that hunt possible. I am truly jealous. Congrats to both of you. My wife and I loved the pic of the two little ones "glassing". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C.C.Cody171 Report post Posted September 13, 2017 Thanks everyone! It was definitely high quality fun I'll never forget. I can't wait to have a tag again. Possibly in another state. Too easy to grow old waiting for elk tags in AZ. At least pretty soon my kids will be putting in too! Headed back to NM for my brother and bro in laws hunt this weekend, wish us luck. Crazy low odds we drew at all, let alone separately! Thanks again and good luck to everyone in the field. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C.C.Cody171 Report post Posted September 22, 2017 My brother was able to get it done in NM on the day 6! He showed up a week early to scout and worked his butt off for this bull. I was able to hunt with him for four days but after numerous close calls, I had to return to work. He slipped in and smoked his bull at 61 yards with a perfect shot the morning after I left. I wish I could have been there for the beginning of his archery addiction. He's rifle hunted a lot but he told me watching that arrow hit its mark was the coolest thing he'd ever seen! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
