2 - Cows +1 Mulie doe - 30.06

2 - Cows 54 Cal Hawken percussion

1- Bull - .300 wsm

All one shot kills and complete pass throughsexcept on one cow. I used a Cor-loct that hit the shoulder, went into the neck and I had to give a finishing shot. Mind bulletconstruction

Only had a chance to Bow hunt last year (Close but...well you know).
We'll crank it up again this year.

Glob!

Glob and Howler,
I'm with ya on that bowhunting,I had hunted deer witha bow but never a elk(and me being a Montanan),the rifle was always the way to go.
I took it up last year after a 7 year hiaetus,and man I tell you what I can't get enough.I just bought another bow a 80+ lb Tribute,now everyone is accusing me of using TO MUCH bow.Kinda like magnumitis,never have enough.

I have to admit, this will be my fourth season of bow hunting elk, and I have yet to kill. It seems that my buddys, on the other hand, kill on the first day or two and I spend more time packing out meat than I do actually hunting!! Of course last year, I spent too much time chasing antelope when I should've been in the mountains, BUT I finally got my speed goat!!

I do miss rifle hunting with all my relatives. We were always, and they are still, very successful, BUT there's something about archery that I can't get enough of!!

Too much bow, not hardly possible!! Not enough bow, on the other hand!!
