If you had to choose only 1 type of animal
If you had to choose only 1 type of animal to hunt for what would it be and why?
I choose elk, because I don't think that there is any bigger thrill than having an animal that large answer your call for the first time. I was hooked after just 1 return bugle. It surprised me to hear that big bull answer my call, but I sure was glad it did. Not only did hekeep calling back at me but so did 2 other bulls. What to do now I thought. But, I finally came up with a plan to concentrate on the one that had been calling to me all along.I harvested that bull within the first 2 hours of my very first elk hunt. It was so hard for me not only to breath without hyper-ventilating but I couldn't swallow for that big lump in my throat. I would have swore that he could hear my heart pounding. He was only 20 yards away and I couldn't believe that I had just called him in. After holding my bow at full draw for what seemed an eternity, I finally got to shoot. He went 30 yards and fell. Then the work started.
