2014 DIY unit 9 archery bull elk

Recommended Posts

Had the fortune of drawing a unit 9 tag this year. Never had been in the unit untill my scouting trips prior to the season. During the scouting trips I located 2 really big bulls. I had high hopes of killing a giant come the season. Got up to my camp 2 days prior to season and found a lot of elk but nothing in the caliber of what I was looking for. The first 3 days of the hunt I passed on 8 bulls under 40 yards but the quality of bugeling and activity time started to deteriorate quickly. I was fortunate enought to harvest this bull on the 3rd evening of the hunt. I knew he wouldn't score great but the character of him being a roll back with long beams great mass and extremely wide I couldn't let him walk when he presented me with a broadside 35yd shot. I figure not to bad for a guy hunting solo in brand new country I'd never been in before. Great way to start the year off and the freezer is full!

Sorry on the poor photo quality. All my field photos got deleted off my camera by my easily excited technologically challenged step dad so all I have to show from it is a blurry cell phone photo...

Scores don't mean anything. Hes an incredible bull and you had a great hunt thats what matters.

Awesome bull. Take a trophy photo of the first plate of steaming elk steaks, and all will be forgiven for the lack of field photos!
