cramerhunts Report post Posted September 24, 2010 I got to spend some time up north helping out a buddy try and fill his archery tag. Rut had camp all set up and ready to go by the time I got there so all we had to do was find a bull that our friend would like to go after. Two days before the hunt we found a really good bull and the bar was set, unfortunately that would mean that a lot of great bulls would get passed up. Even though we had some really close calls we just didn't have any luck getting in close on the big guy. Due to work I had to come home early this week and wouldn't you know it the day I left they closed the gap on a great bull and even got a shot, a missed shot but a shot none the less. With setting the bar as high as we did on this hunt what happened is just the way it works out more times then not when trophy hunting and it's tag soup for our buddy. There is no regrets and nothing left on the table.....just some great memories and the hopes of a tag for one of us next year. Got to love spending time in the woods with the elk and enjoying the awesome company of friends. I have a ton of video that I'll be editing for quite some time but I thought I would post up some clips of a few of the bulls we passed up. DG Bull CC Bull LB Bull H Mud Baby.
