That's great, I hadn't heard to many people talk about elk here in the bowhunting section. I have been hunting here in Idaho for the past 12 years, since I was 12. The most adrenaline I have ever felt has been an Elk at a couple steps ripping out a knee trembling bugle. That has happened on a few occasions. Keeps me coming back every year.
Hope to hear a couple more of your experiences. It doesn't get much more exciting than being a few feet from a bull (or a cow) and trying to get a clean shot off with your bow.
