I went unguided. Hunted on public ground. Rented a cabin to stay in on private ground but there weren't any elk on the private. It was a little piece.

I did not. Shot was long and at a steep angle and quartering away. Had about 8” or arrow sticking out on the entrance side. He still bled pretty good despite the high entrance wound, downward angle, and only one hole.

Ebby,
That is a beautiful bull and a very concise and well written story! You did GOOD!!

You really didn't need to include the info about the 125# backpack load...now my back and hip and knees...and lots more...really hurt.

Having hunted elk archery for a decade or two myself I can really appreciate the elk and your preparation skills. Very, very well done.

I’m always amazed how the archery hunter gets so close. Great hunting and congrats.
