Well said and congrats on the kill

I took this years bull yesterday on the sixth day of the hunt. Had five days of chasing elk under the rim with Mark this year. Had a couple stalks on bulls just over the 300 mark but it seemed the wind wanted to start swirling when I would get within 200 yrds of the bulls. Yesterday I had planned on setting up in front of two 5x5's that we had watched come down the same trail the 2 days prior. We got to our glassing spot and I could not pick the two up, so I told Mark to try going after some other bulls we were watching and I would try to talk him into them. When Mark got to the spot he was to start his hike I picked up what would end up being my bull and his seven cows below Mark. I told Mark to eaze over and see if he could see them and get a shot. Mark got to the edge and could not see them due to heavey cover so I told Mark I would come in from the bottom and probably bump them right by him. When I reach the bottom though the cows were walking out and away from Mark and 90 yrds from me. I could not see the bull and knew that if I were to keep going I would push the cows away from Mark and the bull would follow so I stayed put and ten minutes later the bull breaks a branch behind me and I come to full draw. The bull pops out at 20yrds and I can only see his head. He turns looks at me and bolts out making a big hook. I let down and listen to where he is going. When he reaches what I believe to be 60 yrds I cow call and stop him but am not able to shoot due to the brush infront of him. He starts to walk again and walks into an opening, I stop him once more range him at 76 yrds and get the arrow on its way. I was able to follow the arrow in flight and watch it hit 2" behind the shoulder. I hear him crash 100yrds infront of me. Not as big as the last two years bulls but I am happy with him. Thanks for the help Mark in getting him out and thanks Justin and Nate for coming up last weekend. Sorry for the long read I was bored this morning.

Thanks guys, Mark keep at and good luck

Thats awesome, you got to be a proud papa!

I have hunted the november archery hunt the last six years and never heard one bugle. Then this evening heard 3 bugles and the cows were talking like crazy.

Great job. Reminds me of my first duck with dad bout 15 yrs ago

Good luck TJ!!!!! It is sure to be fun as always. Been seeing good numbers of bulls.

Congrats on the buck Cole
