First archery elk kill (late season)
« on: December 03, 2014, 01:06:35 PM »
So here it is my first archery cow elk harvest at 47yds it was pretty cool experience. I hunted my multi season elk tag hard this year!! I thought for sure I was eating tag soup this year. The cool thing was I stuck her 1/4 mile from my rig and she walked towards my rig and died 15yds from it. Talk about sweet ;) oh and check out the hoof rot pic this was GMU 530

Congrats on the elk.  How did that hoof smell?

Good for you to stick with it all season.  Just curious if you noticed that the cow may have had the hoof rot before you shot?  That looks nasty and I would probably be hobbling around on three legs if that were me.

Congrats! I'd say you did her a favor. That hoof looks gnarly!
Every thought of my being is in regards to being a high tech predator and I relish the role.

Congrats on the first one!  I agree, looks like you did her a favor the way those hooves look.
