Elkcrazy scores!!!!
 
Well, The deed is done, I held out on alot of bulls already this year in hopes of taking the big one I was after. I decided to let one fly. It was a 30 yard shot with a 60 yard recovery. I am happy with my decision....

Nice elk, I sure wish I could go elk hunting. Are there any states that still sale elk tags over the counter?

Good job and nice pic! I hope to return to Colorado or go to Idaho and get my first elk next year. Please post in the Annual Broadhead Harvest poll please.:)

I will post in the broadhead colum. I have 3 kills this year with 2 different types. The Montec that I shot this bull with looks like it just came out of the package after blasting through ribs on each side and both lungs.

Idaho sells over the counter tags still.

Chad congrats, I myself am still holding out for a big to nice bull, Ihave seen many elk so far and have passed a lot of cows and several small bulls. I still have a week and a half to hunt towards the end of the season. During the first three days we were into manyherds of cows with spikes.On the third dayone of my twopartners couldn't take it anymore and decided to take a cow. Its his first archery elk so we were all excited for him. The tender loins sure did taste good in the duch oven that night!

I hope to do the same next week in Colorado.

Thanks for the kind words.

mac, they are not bugling that much right now. The rut is on for sure though. Most of them have been coming in silent. I still have managed to only get one really fired up as of yet, but they have been responding to calling very well. I am still going to go with guys the whole third week. We should hear some bugling then.

Congrats. I hope to be posing like that in less than a week. How are they bugling up there in Idaho. I'm leaving friday.

CONGRATS!!!!

rybohunter, They are not bugling all that much and the weather has been pretty warm. The temps are supposed to cool down by the end of the week, there should be a little more daylight movement. The bulls have been coming in real well though at times during the day even though they are silent, the rut is on though. I watched this guy wizz all over himself before I shot him. I guess if I was looking at a guy at full draw, I would probably wizz all over myself too!!!!

Well done and congrats!! Im jealous!!!

RE: Elkcrazy scores!!!!
 
Man you guys are so fortunate to have elk locally to hunt. I really really really hope someday that I can afford a hunt and get to experience an elk hunt while they are in the peak of the rut. It is tough to me to justify the expense though before I own a house...........once that is done I will probably be booking a trip.

Congrats!!

Rick James, you never know where the roads may take you, I grew up just down the road from you in Rochester. I have been here since 89' and never will leave this place. Good luck hunting this year!!!

Wy and Co both sell over the counter elk tags and I THINK Oregon and Washington do too.
