![[Linked Image]](https://s15.postimg.cc/chphr7vyz/IMG_7186.jpg) Well, it was a fun ten days, and day ten was pretty good to me. I made a perfect hit, broadside at 26 yards on this nice 6X6. He made it about 100 yards. I look forward to this annual solo hunt every year, as it kicks off three straight months of big game hunting, plus there is absolutely nothing like being up close to these bulls this time of year when they are gathering and tending cows, and chasing each other around. Intense, heartbreaking, comical...bow hunting elk is a roller coaster ride. Too much fun! I've got a couple nice mule deer bucks located, so I may have to....wait I've also got an antelope permit...and a black bear tag. Decisions....;)

Geez
That one's a keeper.
My favorite time of year when the elk are making noise and blowing snot. Up close is great.

Gonna bloody the PRC on animals this fall? The wife has a bull elk rifle permit for the same unit I bow hunt, and she'll be using that rifle....she's been applying for that unit for 16 years, and finally drew the permit.
