The Best Hunting day of my Life

Nice bull! Good looking mount too.
Archery?

^^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! Check it out!! http://www.noslerreloading.com/phpBB2/v ... w=previous" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

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.
