Here is my Spike I got opening morning, I have not rifle hunted elk for a long time, but with a limited entry archery deer tag I new I would not have much time to archery hunt so I got a Rifle Spike tag.

I know it is only a p i s s cutter but this will be one of my most cherished elk hunts ever! Why? Because I got to share the entire experience with my 8 year old son. I can't begin to tell you all how proud I am of the little man! He has put more miles on his little boots than most grown men will put on in two seasons. He has been on some hikes that I know a lot of grown men would not make and he never complained or missed a beat! His sitting skills need a little work but his legs are in perfect form. He actually spotted this bull and was a little more than excited when I didn't see him right away. To see his little eyes light up and see the grin on his face when the bull went down will forever put a smile on my face. I honestly don't think I was any more excited last year when I shot my good bull than I was today!

As many of you know the opening morning of the 2011 (spike) Utah elk hunt dumped some pretty good snow. When most stayed in their trucks we we're off on the ATV, and after a hike up the hill the morning produced some fun shooting. Photo is of my 14 year old son on his first elk hunt.

 

[bowhunter82]

20 yard shot.

 

[tinenut]

Great day with the grandson, he is hooked at 4 year old, all he wants to do is go hunting.

For a people who are free, and who mean to remain so, a well-organized and armed militia is their best security.
