LAST EDITED ON Oct-02-03 AT 03:47PM (MST)[p]Talked with a friend who got back last week from a Archery hunt with his son (game warden) and another game cop they were hunting in Idaho.
Took up archery so he could hunt with his son just two months ago and said he had a ball.
Missed a big 6x6, but brought home the "Whiteoak" branch. He made up for it later in the hunt as he finally nailed a spike Bull at about 18 yards. Needless to say, neither of the other two got any elk and he was in seventh heaven over that as they have been hunting for some time with archery.
The 6x6 was probably somewhere around 45 yards but not sure as had no range finder to check distance.
Don't know if they took pictures and it is too late for me to find out as he lives about hour and ahalf from here.

P.S. He just turned 60 in July, no spring chicken.
