Contest Story #1 – The Mudhole Bull (Jason Fuller)
by Corey Jacobsen
July 20, 2009
During the hike in to our hunting camp on Labor Day weekend 2008, I found myself thinking of the last bull I’d killed. I couldn’t believe it was in 2000. Had I really drawn blanks for seven seasons in a row? Wow, it was without a doubt 2008. I’ll never forget releasing the arrow on [...]
Contest Story #2 – 60 Year Old Elk (Bill Squires)
by Corey Jacobsen
July 20, 2009
OK, obviously the elk isn’t 60 years old, I am. I’ve lived in Idaho all my life and love the outdoors. Those of us my age and older know how it is, your mind has a hard time accepting the limitations of your years. Luckily the body is there to remind you, or you might [...]

by Corey Jacobsen
July 20, 2009
The 2008 hunting season started in June when the draw results for Moose, Sheep, and Goat were released. I scrambled to check the results, for myself first, of course… Unsuccessful again, I mumbled to myself. Since I apply for my little brother, wife, and my buddy Matt every year, I proceeded to check results for [...]

This past spring I was invited by my friend and co-publisher Matt Smith to join him and other RMEF members to assist the Wisconsin DNR in the elk restoration project at Clam Lake. We would be hunting elk! Well… at least their newborn calves.

Decoys for Elk?
by Corey Jacobsen
July 17, 2009
I just got in from a 4 mile run and need to wind down before hitting the sack. My good buddy and Sitka Pro Staff member Matt Palmquist drew an awesome elk tag in New Mexico for this September and asked me my thoughts on using decoys. Here they are:
They work…sometimes.
Mountain Running
by Tony Mudd
July 14, 2009
Training to get in shape for a upcoming elk hunt, or for that matter, any kind of mountain hunt can be a labor of love – or a love-hate relationship! As variety is the spice to life, interval training is the spice to your training program. It will take your fitness to the next level and it may be just what it [...]

If you’re bored enough to read this post, I can only assume you read my first one. If not, I’ll cut to the chase and tell you two important facts.
Fact #1–I’m kind of fat.
Fact #2–I drew an Idaho controlled hunt tag for elk.
