It was the year of the sattelite bull. Some friends and I killed 4 bulls in 4 days during the first rifle hunt in 6c in New Mexico. A bud from mississippi got a nice 6x4 opening morning, and another local friend got a 4x5. On the 3rd day, another college bud got a decent little 4x4. After 3 days of quartering and packing out meat, I was ready to get fill my tag. On the 4th day, a good friend and I were able to stalk a small herd for about an hour. It was a rough stalk in very thick, burned out timber, so we cow called once as to not totally spook the elk away. Finally, a decent 5x5 walked into a clearing a couple hundred yards away and he never took another step after 1 shot from my trusty .308.
It was a year to remember for us, especially for the out of staters, who both killed their first bulls. We hunted hard for 4 days on all public land without professional guides, just the know-how of myself and some great local friends. After this hunt, there was plenty of tasty table fare to go around.
