I was extremely blessed to draw the coveted TN elk tag this year. I have hunted elk out west for six years and was very excited to be able to have the opportunity to chase elk in my home state. I spent all spring and summer looking forward to this trip. I want to start by giving a huge shout out to Brad Miller, the TWRA elk program coordinator.

I thought there was a very real chance that this fool standing next to me was going to get one or both of us killed, or at least seriously injured, and probably our families too. This was in Alaska, in a city park in Anchorage, and I had just pulled off the park road so my wife and small son and I could watch a big bull moose taking it easy back in the tree line. He was quite a sight; you hear how massive and powerful they are in person, and how a picture or video doesn’t do them justice, and it’s true, there is nothing like just being near one.
