RE: Preparing for elk season.. 1/2 way there
We had 2 hunters per guide. The guide would put us in position and then call from 50-100 yards behind us, depending on the setup. The time I got my bull I was standing next to a big tree on the edge of a meadow. We heard the bull bugleing and getting closer. All of a sudden 6 cows and young ones came running right at me. They passed on both sides of the tree I was standing next to. I could have almost touched them. Then the bull came out and stopped broadside at 30 yards. The arrow hit him right behind the shoulder and he ran maybe 150 yards and my hunt was over. I was speechless with what had just happened. It took us till midnight to get him skinned and quartered and hauled out. But I still wasn't tired. Adrenaline has an amazing effect that way.
