Drive in 7 miles on 4 wheelers
hope we have better luck than last year.
Really love bowhunting, but would have to live out thereso I could have a chance to scout more to figure out the bestplacesto hunt them. Needmore than the time allotment we have for the rifle season. Would love to hunt them during the rut with bow. I like to call turkeys and whitetails in, so I know I would love calling elk in for sure.
Bowhunting whitetail now here in NY. Only seeing does and fawns so far.

From Wall tent next to river. Used a boat to get to great areas that others couldn't. The area was Canmore Alberta. Season was Bow mid sept. Had a 350+ class bull at 5 yards with no shot due to a tree and branches...
Had a few other close encounters but didn't connect. This was my first year in the mix with bulls bugling and going crazy. Loved it.
