Hello from iowa. I'm 36, married with two boys, 7 and 4. I've got two mules that I've had in Colorado and Wyoming elk hunting. Haven't got an elk yet but the fire is burning and I cant wait for Sept. Bugling bulls is what I crave ( like most of us). In the meantime I hunt whitetails and turkeys (mostly w/stick and string) here in Iowa to pass the time until my next trip to the mountains. I'm glad to be a part of the forums and I'm looking forward to sharing my experiences with other like minded hunters.
