Excited to learn as much as possible while soaking in “an opportunity of a lifetime,” Troy Ball of LaCrosse Footwear travels to New Mexico with his bow in search of a bull elk.
Along the way, he experiences how hunting helps conserve elk populations by enhancing herd health, genetics and other dynamics.
