PATIENCE PAYS! LEE AND TIFF BOTH TAG MONSTER BULLS IN NM!
Monday, September 24, 2012
Lee and Tiff have hunted at the UU Bar in Cimarron, NM (www.expressuubar.com) for the last few seasons, and although they've made some amazing memories there, they just hadn't had any luck in past years. They were keeping their fingers crossed that this year would be different! We were there this time around with the RMEF (Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation) www.rmef.org. This trip is always one of our favorite hunts of the year!!The scenery at UU Bar is GORGEOUS and we are so happy to be back!Upon arrival, we met up with our guides, Pat Lovato and Andrew Sanchez.Andrew, Pat, and Lee just hangin' out Andrew, Tiff and our Producer, Marc WomackAndrew and Tiff ready to go!We all know that meeting Lee's standards of a "shooter" are tough to say the least, but after passing on several elk, Lee finally set his sites on a big ol' New Mexico Bull! His patience over the last few years has paid off as he finally took down the elk he's been dreaming of! That Big Boy hit the dirt and scored in at 336!Lee with his MONSTER NM Bull Elk!Lee packing out with his bull! Glad we had lots of people with to help with the rest!!Thank God for Yeti coolers and heavy duty trucks!Once Lee's tag had been filled, he was thrilled to be able to go out with Tiffany in the hopes that she would be able to do the same! Tiff was well prepared to head out and even the score! Practice makes perfect!Like Lee, Tiff also passed on some beautiful Bulls as she waited patiently for the absolute perfect shooter!The morning of September 20th, they got up and ahead of the herd, and things all fell right into place. Tiff took down her VERY FIRST NM Bull Elk with Lee standding right beside her...Doesn't get ANY better than that!! Tiff's New Mexico BBD!!Lee and Tiff's Monster New Mexico Big Bulls Down!! We are TRULY BLESSED!We have been on the road for almost a month doing what we love to do!! We are heading to Montana next to round out our travels with another elk and deer hunt and then it's Home Sweet Home! ...Back to Iowa for the Season Opener!!!Take care everyone! Happy and safe hunting in 2012!
