azhunter23 Report post Posted September 13, 2010 Well glad to be home. I spent the last 10 days in the woods deer & elk hunting. I was very lucky to fill both tags within a 4 day stretch. After 6 days of not seeing any bucks on Thursday the last day of the archery deer season I was walking into an area that I planned to elk hunt the next morning. With about 30 minutes of light left I caught the sound of a twig snapping and turned to my right to see two mule deer bucks standing aprox 30 yards away. Both bucks stood broadside and allowed me to knock an arrow and draw, the larger buck was standing behind a tree with his vitals blocked so I settled in and released. The arrow hit its spot and the deer went only 15 yards before expiring. After having multiple chances to harvest a bull elk through Saturday night, the only problem is I had a cow tag! Everything went right Sunday morning. In the woods well before sunrise, bulls screaming & cows talking. We slowly worked our way through the woods chasing the sounds of love, when my wife spotted a solo cow walking a trail towards us. So we set up 20 yards away when the cow presented a shot I drew and she spooked so out of habit I lip squeked and she stopped at 33 yards quartered away I settled in and the arrow went in at the perfect angle exiting through the front shoulder we watched her expire 40 yards away. I want to thank everyone that helped me out. Jeremy at Browning's Custom Meats, My buddy Derek and my wonderful family. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
