elkslare Report post Posted April 6, 2015 I thought well we are all waiting for our results I would go ahead and post up our hunt from 2013 elk hunting. Since I never did post it back in 2013. 2013 Is last time we {my family} was drawn for elk. We had a great time. My son and my wife were drawn on the same hunt. It was a very wet wet begging of our hunt. Lots of rain and alot of standing water every where. Later in the hunt we were able to get a little more sun which was very nice. It began with my son passing up a shot on a 330 340ish 7x7 bull. I asked him why he did not shoot. He told me that he thought it was a small 6x6 with the last two points being a small crab claw. He was a little angry with himself after I told it was a 7 point. First day we had alot of chances but past on alot of smaller bulls. We had 3 bulls that we had found little later that were between the 350 375 mark. We hunted these bulls switching off on the bulls every day not to put to much pressure on them in any one day. We came very close on these bulls several times but they were just out of bow range. My son finally put a bull down on the second to last day of his hunt. Then he had to head back home and to work. So now all the concentration was on my wife and getting her a bull. We hunted the remainder of the season very hard. she had shots on bulls just a little out of her bow range. She made the right choice in not shooting. Just was not in the cards this trip. I give her alot of credit she hunted hard. Getting up early every morning and out every night. She hunted hard and did a great job. It was a very memorable trip, having spent some great family time with my wife and son. Good luck to everyone on there draw. Hope you get the tag you want. Good luck and be safe on your hunts. Couple pics from the hunt 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elkslare Report post Posted April 7, 2015 Thanks for the kind words. Archery elk hunting is very special time of year for us. Hopefully today we will here our results on our tags. We too have been hit with the credit card hit, and we are patiently waiting. It is either my wife or me. I kinda hope it is my wife for she can get back on the saddle and get her first elk. She has her bow out already and ready to start shooting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
