Unit 1 Archery Bull tag 1st tag ever

[Coach]

As far as "target score", I don't have an answer for you.

 

I know he would really like to make the best of it, and while there will be some hard choices, I trust that he will make the decision of what is right for him.

 

Honestly, some of my best elk hunting experiences result in a 'non-trophy' bull at close range.

 

What I want for him, being his first elk-in-the-rut hunt, is to embrace the parts of hunting he loves, try to avoid the pressure of inches of horn growth, kill-or-no-kill, take his time to learn and observe the world away from what we are all used to.

 

If we somehow get a big bull to make a mistake, I'm good with that.

If we can only manage to spend hours on hours together with a common goal, and nothing is killed, I'm good with that.

My son also drew this tag and it will be his first hunt as well. I agree with you, I think the experience successful or not is priceless!!

 

Good luck to all of you!
