I don't get to hunt artifacts like I use to, but I went today. I had just drove in from Hobbs Nm., I got in at 1am and grab a few hours of much needed sleep. On one of my hunting lease's they have been cutting some timber and we got a flood last night so I had to give it a try. So I put on my orange vest so no fool would shot me and all I can say is it was worth it. 002.JPG001.JPG I did carry my rifle just in case I saw a deer that I might want , but it's hard to see deer when you got your eyes on the ground.

Looks like a nice three pointer. That is a worth while trip for sure.
 

Damn boss hell yeah those are killer pieces NOTWORTHY!!!!!!
 

Thats a good hunt nice 1st of the year finds.
 

Those are great! Judging from the quality of those points would make me think that that timbered area has never been plowed. Glad you were able to get out!
 

Not just three, but three killers! Super results for the first time out in awhile. Congrats.

ptsofnc you are right on that the land was never farmed, it lies on the edge of the bluffs above the Ms. river. There is a 200ft rise from the flat lands to the top of the bluffs, all the flat lands were used for farming.
 

I did carry my rifle just in case I saw a deer that I might want , but it's hard to see deer when you got your eyes on the ground.

that makes me laugh, it is so true too. Not long ago I was out on the coast doing the eyes on the ground thing..I was so intent on hunting rocks that I didn't even see the herd of about 50 elk until they jumped out in front of me and trotted by single file...i nearly pissed myself.
 

It's been a long while since I brought home three killers in one outing. You did good with those.
 

You had an awesome hunt. Thanks for sharing them with us and good luck on future hunts.

Very funny! I have hunted elk since I was 12 years old. I don't always hunt them, sometime I like to just go out to "see" them! To me they are one of the most beautiful animals here where I live! I find it interesting that it sounds like you got pretty close to them before you noticed them. I'm willing to bet they were checking you out by letting you get that close. The reason I find this interesting is, elk consider us predators,(really what we are..) because our eyes are in front of our heads, rather than on the sides. I'm willing to bet that because your eyes were downcast, they were not sure whether or not you were a predator, and allowed you to get so close to them. I know this, because I have done this on purpose, after learning it from a native Blackfoot friend of mine, when he was teaching me a little about "counting coup"! He taught me how to approach an elk from the side, very slowly, with my eyes downcast, NEVER looking directly at them. I still have not been able to touch one yet, but I have gotten within 10 feet of one. I will tell you it is NOT an easy feat!!!!
