The Best Hunting day of my Life

[BentRod]

Nice bull! Good looking mount too.
Archery?

[fullybuilt2.0]

^^Yes! I shot him at 22 yrds and he went down after 80 yrds! I been archery hunting for over 10 years and this is my first bull elk! Hard work pays off! Thanks;)

I know the feeling....I got my first bull this year too (Took me more than 10 years!). Not archery, but used to bowhunt when I was in high school, so know how intense it is. Hell of a feeling no matter what you're hunting with.

^^thats differently a nice bull you took also! Congrats on that! I bow and rifle hunt but nothing beats a bugling bull coming in 20 yrds during archery season! That's pretty crazy how you found the arrow shaft inbeded on the lower thigh! Its was a very poor shot placement from that person! I can't stress enough about telling people to keep practicing! It will come a long ways if you do it! I not sure if you seen this link about a elk that was taken last year but it kind of had the same story of your bull!

Thanks! Yeah, definitely some excitement in camp this year.

Whoa! That's crazy. Will have to share that with my hunting partners. Thanks for the link.
