hm2 clark,
Thanks for the heads up, I ordered a 26" heavy contour blued 1:8 twist barrel. My daughter in-law drew a bull elk tag in Arizona's unit 6A. I'm considering letting her use it for this hunt. As a family we drew four elk tags this year, my oldest son drew an archery Bull tag, my brother in law drew a rifle bull tag, and I drew an archery cow tag after several years of no tags. I'm grateful for the cow tag and the ability to hunt with one of my sons. but I really, really, wish I had drawn an archery bull tag. The last time I had one, I called in a bull for my best hunting buddy, Steve Johnson of Wisconsin. He made a beautiful 25 yard shot on a medium sized 6x6 bull. I passed a half dozen or more bulls looking for a better than I have taken bull which would have to be better than 360" class, and wound up never taking a shot.
This year my oldest son and I are signed up for a week long class in Illinois on videotography and TV production from one of the best producers for The Outdoor Channel. I'm thinking of making a video of his bull elk and maybe my daughter-in-laws hunt. Here is a pic of my last called in bull.![[Image: 2005_bull_elk_small.jpg]](http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/2005_bull_elk_small.jpg)
