tjhunt2 Report post Posted January 31, 2010 Today is the last day of the January archery hunt and I sit here typing while some lucky hunter is still giving it their all. I have waited till now to post my elk picture cause I wanted to post several pics of the hunts leading up to now but haven't got anything to show for it. There was going to be my wife's bull pics, my Geratol buck, and my pig pictures to go along with my elk but it just wasn't going to happen. Appendix taken out on opening day of my wife's hunt, then the big storm that left me with no way to get to my buck's spot along with having the flu and not being able to find any pigs till the day I couldn't stock them because of my coughing. This isn't near the caliber of bulls that have been posted but those who know me know I can't pass up a 13yd shot. He came in at last light after 5 cows were there for half an hour. He chased them away and I arrowed him thru the netting of my partners doublebull blind. I thought the screen deflected my arrow and my shot was liver so I went back to camp, ate super, and layed down for a nap. Went back around 11pm and found my bull hadn't ran more than 200 yds. After boning out my elk with help from my brother and a friend, we were back in camp by 3:30am. Thanks to Larry and Chris for all their help that night.

Snapshot Report post Posted February 1, 2010 Excellent job TJ.! I had a November archery bull tag in 27. Got within 70 yards of a nice 5x5 but swirling winds ended that deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sam Report post Posted February 1, 2010 Very nice bull on a tough hunt. I know a few hunters that went home empty handed. You are lucky to have elk meat in the freezer........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
