    I was able to end 2018 on a high note. Last night this guy walked out at 5:10 and stood perfectly broadside at 90 yards for me. Made a good shot and only had to track it about 50 yards. I didn't get a chance to measure the rack but he's a nice 8 point that weighed in at 210 pounds. Looking forward to meat in the freezer!

    That's a hell of a first bull! I got my first this year as well, but in NM! Congrats on a great season!

    Thanks man! I’ve been guiding elk hunts for a couple years in some perstine country in Utah so it gave me a good idea of what I wanted and how to be patient and pass 30+ other bulls. There were some days I thought I passed on bulls when I shouldn’t have but it paid off! Glad to hear you got yours as well! NM is on my bucket list of states I’d love to hunt elk in!

    We have till Jan. 20th for archery here. I’ve been seeing a couple of big ones in my neighbors bean field but they’ve been staying out of range. Some of the bucks here are starting to shed so we gotta be careful if we do get one.

    Most of the deer have left the area I hunt . 3 cameras out and just a couple doe . Scouted around a bit and really very little sign . Really wet weather this year
    I think drove the deer from my area . 120 acres with about 50 of it being slightly steep with natural drainage ditches and thick thick tangles of thorns and stuff. One long ridge with oak and beech and hemlock .Other side of hill is loaded with summer homes and some year round residents and most deer hang there during deer season !Normally during the season I would see about 6 different bucks .It’s just so wet I think the deer don’t like it :notsure: This is another reason I will be hunting Pennsylvania more next season . Found over 11000 acres of state land 25 minutes from my brothers house, so around 2 hours from me . NY needs antler restrictions like Pa . Hunting here is not that great . I think I shot the only rack buck on the property and see mostly spikes . About 10 years ago I imposed self law and shoot only 3 points on one side or better but everyone around me shoots whatever they see . :mad:

    I've heard Utah is awesome elk country, tough to get tags for non-residents though. Northern NM is where its at, beautiful country up there!

    Accurate af for the eastern states. 2018 was the wettest year I can remember in my 31 years. I gave up after our gun season. Been too warm and raining every day I had a chance to get into the woods, so not worth trying to stick one with the bow for late season.
