![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/prhKPNbw/IMG-7662.jpg) It was time to pull back the string...;) He chose a good spot to go down. 26 yard shot, and he went about 30 yards after a perfect double lung shot. Probably the most fun I've ever had hunting elk with the bow was this season. I'm happy! My wife is REALLY happy..grin! DIY-Solo-Private

Good deal.
I've done the gutting thing with a broken arrow shaft and lost broadhead. I can see a guy getting cut real easily.

Pat;
Good evening to you sir, I'll dispense with my usual salutation as I surmise from the photo that you're well!
Hopefully your fine family is well too Pat.
Congratulations on another fine bull, I'm another member here who looks forward to seeing what you've caught during each fall's season.
If you're so inclined, I'm curious if the subspecies there are Rocky Mountain or Manitoba elk?
Again going off of foggy memory, I believe I was told that the elk in the Cypress Hills area were Manitoba, but then I could be wrong about that too since I believe the herd there was a re-introduced one.
Anyway sir, thanks again for sharing the hunt and photos with us and all the best to you and yours in your remaining hunts this fall.

Trading in the shooting irons for stick and string? I've always done both...Montana has a very long archery season, and allows hunters to do both archery and rifle, unlike a lot of other states. This year's bow season will go 44 days. Our rifle season will run from October 26th to December 1st.

![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/vmkgtpTh/IMG-7658.jpg) Thanks for the kind words everyone! It's always bittersweet when it's all over...I'd turned 62 just a few days before I got this bull.:) Hoping I've got a few more falls ahead of me before I hang up the bow. I still shoot 70#, but those days are getting numbered.
