Elk in the Land of Enchantment

Norb,

You said he was a 5x1. Just a damaged antler bud or did he look like his head had been injured.

The other side looked a little atypical as well. Really dark looking antlers.

Thanks guys.

Chris, he is a typical 5 x 5. The main beam was broken after the first brow tine. It was all healed up so it must have happened early in the year. All of the bulls there had dark antlers due to the pine sap. I'll put up a pic of the rack. I will have some more pics from Randy later that should be interesting.

Joseph, I emailed pics to Leo a few days ago and haven't heard back...looks like he's elk hunting. Did you see that toad of an antelope he shot??? Phenominal.

Ben, the quiver is something that Zipper has been doing for a long time. They take a cut off of the riser block and shape it into a quiver to match perfectly. Super light as well....
