Things finally came together for me last week! This is my first hunting season being unburdened by employment which was pretty nice. It was a slow season for me as far as bull action but it’s great to have plenty of time to plug away at it.
This bull was cruising along the edge of a small herd with a smaller bull when I spotted him tearing up a tree. I figured I had a chance to slip into range as long as he was occupied but he eventually started moving away and it was too loud for me to follow so I finally cow called a couple times and he came looking for me. Ended up broadside at 40 yards but I was caught out in the open and had to draw bow while a stood up and I rushed the shot and it wasn’t perfect. Luckily he let me get another arrow in him and he didn’t go far. 37 years of archery hunting elk and I still get as excited as ever!
