Nothing for me but my 12-yo son drew a Valles Caldera first rifle elk tag. He's done some black bear hunting with me but this will hopefully be his first big game animal. What a great opportunity this is to cement that first memory of elk hunting!!!

The results are up but the website is painstakingly slow from all the traffic. Nothing for me but my 12-yo son drew a Valles Caldera first rifle elk tag. He's done some black bear hunting with me but this will hopefully be his first big game animal. I couldn't think of a better hunt to cement...

Hi all...got back to AK in the middle of the night last night from VV. We didn't get a bull but my wife did pass on three lesser bulls and missed one that was 330" or so. Stomper - the canyon that the 5x6 was in did get hunted hard. I had a trail camera on the path up there and had hunters...
