Olympic Bull Down
« on: September 04, 2014, 08:30:11 PM »
It was our first morning in the Olympic unit and it didnt take us long to locate a herd of elk.  After hiking to where we thought our best chance to get ahead of the herd was we set up and watched them for 15 minutes.   We ranged the bull at 260 yards and I let out a few cow calls and he perked up and was coming our way.

I set my brother up on a bank and I moved back into the timber and continued to call.  The bull slowly came in and presented himself for a shot.  The Savora flew true and found its mark and we watched the bull head into the timber.  We gave him some time and bumped a herd in the timber where the bull entered and they all crossed the river which made our tracking horrendous. After finally locating the bull the work really began.  Took pics and sent out a few messages and it was time to cut him up.  It was his first archery elk and couldn't be more happy and proud to be there along side him.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Not to be a downer, but is that a legal bull?

Looking at the pictures it is legal if the rules say three point or better.
