Getting pumped for Elk!.... Even though it's archery lol. NM & Utah

[Huntnful]

Drew a NM archery elk tag starting Sept. 1 and a Utah archery bull tag with 2 points in the random draw, that should have taken 19 points. I'm getting to NM on Aug. 31st and hunting until Sept. 7th. Then Heading straight to Utah to finish out the season until Sept. 16th. Really looking forwards to these hunts! I'll be hunting the Junipers in NM and the high country in UT. I've only killed one cow elk with a bow, so this should be fun. Got my Ventum 33 Pro shooting 520gr. arrows at 290FPS. 80lb limbs 30" draw. Just shot this group at 120 yards last night, so still technically "long range" lol. Going to shoot the Grim Reaper 1 3/8" pro mechanicals.

That'll be a couple of nice hunts, enjoy the heck out of them!

Are these public land hunts and are you on your own or guided?

Drawing that tag with 2 points is pretty cool! (good omen

I'm actually doing both of them solo, unguided, on public land. Should be a lot of work and a lot of fun!

Those will be fantastic experiences!

I drew a primo wy tag. Been shooting the bow regularly. Outside of weekends I've got a 7 day hunt in September and two weeks in October for rifle season. About 25 days. Should be fun.

Good luck. Enjoy it.

Definitely!! Sounds like you're planning adequate time to get it done too!

I should draw WY elk next year and planning for it to be my only elk tag and I will basically have the same exact hunting date plan as you!

How many points will you have? I need to use my points for Wyoming here in the next few years.
