I have not been on this site for a long time. I am a former Iowa resident, I grew up there. I am in New Mexico now and just got my first elk..I am so excited, so I thought I would share my excitement with you guys and gals. We went out yesterday morning around 7:30am for my elk hunt in NM. It had been raining all night and during the morning so we had a late start. We had scouted a few weeks earlier, and my fiance had a spot picked out he wanted to head to. So we headed in, as we were coming in we spooked a small 4 by 4 and were bummed as we thought we had gotten in too late, but we decided to go ahead a stay put in the spot he had choosen. Around 9:00 we heard one buggle about 200 to 300 yards away. My fiance buggled back, we waited for a short amount of time and the bull buggled back this time 80 to 100 yards now, he was coming quick. /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif My fiance buggled back once again and he was there so fast. When I saw him I started to draw back and hit my release,,,my nerves were nuts..It went about 2 feet right by my fiance. /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif The bull did not even notice it he was coming in and stepped behind a tree, I reloaded my arrow and got at full draw, he was coming right to us. When he was in a clear path, my fiance did a cow call and he stopped, I nailed him,,perfect heart shot..:) He only went 81 yards and down he went. He was dead within minutes. Anyway he is a beautiful 6 by 6 and I could not be happier. What an amazing day.

Man oh man, sweet story and headline, God is awesome! NM seems to be one of the best states for elk, kinda like IA for whitetail. Awesome, I'm sure you have a proud Fiance!
