I recognize that one from mojam.  Gorgeous bow Dave, I like everything about it.  Beautiful picture too

Nice bow and I am still trying to connect on a elk with a selfbow. I better hurry though cause I know what it takes to elk hunt at 10000 ft.  Congrats on your bow Arvin.

[Will B]

That is a really great looking bow.  Good luck with your hunting season.

Very nice bow and a great adventure turned tradition.  Hope you get one next year.  It's pretty neat getting that close to a rutting bull isn't it 

[Dvshunter]

Thanks guys. The elk I was hunting weren't quite 10000 feet. They were down around 8200 ish.

Matt- it's definitely worth the effort.

Very nice bow

I took a lot of pics because it was my first time in Colorado. I hope you guys don't mind.

Please publish some more. that country is fantastic!

I've had 2 opportunities to elk hunt in the San Juan Mts in SW Colorado and would do it again in a minute. We hunted between 9k and 10k but the elk forgot to show up. We did hear a few bugles but had no close encounters.
 Very nice bow and plenty of weight for elk. Hopefully you'll get one next year. You'd better start saving up now though.

Great looking bow, Dave and it's always magic times in the Rockies. I miss living there, even the cold weather isn't bad.

[Ippus]

Wow! That's a real beauty!

[soy]

Great job as always...and that arrow was nothing to scoff at 

[H Rhodes]

Man, I enjoyed this post!  That is a beautiful bow and some awesome photos.  Sounds like a great trip.  That is certainly on my bucket list.  I agree with Soy, that is a serious looking arrow too.

Beautiful bow and looks like some really pretty country.

Thanks for all the compliments everyone! Here are a few more pics of Colorado.














This is the knife I traded for with sleek. It's a good heavy blade. Quite the workhorse.



I'm not sure what this wild flower is but I know when you rub it on yourself it makes a wonderful natural cover scent, and it can be found almost everywhere.


This is a pretty knarly spider that kept crawling into my pack.






I might have some more pics in a few days from other people.
