Went 1 for 3 on my archery tags this year, but the one I filled was with a heck of a bull. Easily my personal best, and my first elk with a bow. 6x6 scores out at 315.5" I couldn't be happier with him. OTC tag in a wilderness area to boot!

Tough to beat that experience and photo. Congratulations

It is done. After several out of state trips getting my ass kicked with a bow, I finally got to return home without the bitter taste of defeat. I had some help from some fellow Minnesota Boys to get it done that helped us get on some elk. Man was it a trip. Fishing was good too.

Had a successful cow elk hunt. However, this big bruin decided to help himself to a rear quarter hanging in a tree while I packed out the first load. Was REALLY wishing bear season was open!

Aren’t most of the bear seasons open til the end of this month?

He’s no Booner, but I’m thrilled because he is my first WY general unit elk, bringing my lifetime general tag success rate from 0% to 33%.

Wyoming bull down! 7 SAUM 175 elite hunter at 140 yards turned his lungs and heart to mush. Took 5 steps and was down in 15 seconds.
Best bull to date. Creative photography makes him look bigger than actual, but the palmations had me totally stoked!

Unit 6A south of southwest of 87 and south of 260. Shot my first elk yesterday at around 5:50pm. I shot once and (well I was shouldering the gun which I hadn’t practiced at all!) and couldn’t be sure where I shot it. It just stood there I shot again and missed. Then it walked about 3 feet and I could tell it was having trouble walking, so I shot again and hit the lungs. The elk still didn’t move. So my husband was fumbling around for more ammo, then she just keeled over. Very strange behavior. That elk was a mess, my bad shot went through part of its abdomen, but I missed the gut, and it was just filled with blood. It was just pouring out when we opened it up. What a mess! I got some many useful tips and learned so much from all you guys. So Thank You!!

This was my first elk, 1973, I was 12 and shot him with a .300 Savage, with peep sights. I thought all elk had big racks. Bitterroot Valley!

Really cool picture!!
