cnelk's archery elk hunt - 2019

[cnelk]

I came back the next day and kept calling for my buddy.


One evening we set up on some elk that were coming thru the timber and a cow and bull came down a trail right to us.


My buddy hit a limb... then hit a tree

 

[cnelk]

Each day we were into elk. It was a blast. Finally on Friday, Sept 13th. my buddy decied it was going to be his last morning hunt.


So we went and hiked up to 11,000' again and I called in another bull.


Those pesky limbs got him again!

While I was looking for his arrow [that I found the small tree] I happened to look down to my left and low and behold, there was a nice deadhead from the year before!

It made the trip home with me

 

[cnelk]

We hiked down the mountain and broke camp. No regrets, nuthin but good memories.


Looking forward to 2020


Thanks for tagging along

Congratulations Brad, sounds like you had a blast.

Congrats Brad. Thanks for sharing. Those pesky limbs have saved many bulls. I know of a bull in Wyoming a 330 6x6 that was saved by one Grrrrrrrrr.

great hunt and story.  glad you were successful. 


I admire your ability to find and kill elk in flat-looking country. I remember you saying many times ELF- elk like flat! 


the pictures dont pop up automatically for me and when I try to open them it gives me a download error.  any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Great story and even better hunt. You did a great job of capturing the story. If you don't mind disclosing how many years and how many pts did it take to draw that unit?

 

[cnelk]

Thanks for the replies.


I think if you let each page load for a bit the photos will show up.


I used 6 PPs for this area. I?m
Not sure if 5-6 is worth it for some people but it was for me.

Congrats Brad, good to see some things never change. It's amazing what a deadhead or a shed can do to spirits on a day when the hunting isn't that good or that things don't go right!
