Story of my life.... - bowhunter3 - 09-08-2013
So, as I posted earlier this season I harvested a cow elk on the second weekend of the archery hunt this year. I headed out last weekend to see what I could do to fill my deer tag. I was hunting a totally different area, and wouldn't you know I was in elk all evening Friday. I did see 5 bucks (2 shooters), but the elk wouldn't let them anywhere near me. I had this 5x5 bull in to every possible shot angle you could have every wanted inside 30 yards. He came into 8 yards after a cow call. A crazy night, with lots of photos and videos. Not so much on the shooting. Enjoy

Nice video, that elk could tell something was wrong in the first Vid. I guess it could have been worse and you saw no deer or elk[

Yeah, he had been around on both sides of me for almost an hour. And he wasn't too concerned. He went into the woods behind me, and was back 10 minutes later.
I actually did sneak within range (20 yards even) of the deer. But by the time I got by the elk and finally crawled over there, it was so dark I couldn't be positive which buck it was. So, I let him live to see another day whichever one it ended up being.

Thanks, it has been kind to me a few times in the past. Not usually quite this eventful.
