2007 WA Archery Bull

[nwhunter]

I will tell the short version and hopefully the long version might make a magazine in the future. I emailed the pics to a member here who said he would add tehm to my post so hopefully this works.      I drew an eastside big bull tag and with the help of many was able to have an awesome hunt and got a bull of a lifetime. I tried to do everything your suppose to, talked to past tag holders, talked to game bios, got maps , scouted even though it was a long road trip, got in shape shot my bow faithfully and packed in with horses and mules to get away from other hunters. Believe me it was worth it! We got on this bull the fourth day and believe me we had logged a lot of miles by then . We were in a deep canyon and after a round about hike to get the wind right and two failed setups the third time was a charm. My brother cow called him in and he stopped in front of a tree I had ranged at 28 yards to bugle and I got a good shot and the G5 did the rest. In thirty seconds he was dead in front of us. It was an awesome experience and to get to share it with my dad who packed us in and my brother and brother in law who are the best hunting partners a guy could have topped it all off! We got the whole hunt on video so hopefully it will be on Steve Chappells Extreme Bulls 5 video as it was his camera he sent us to use. He is a beauty with mass and palmation you really have to touch and see to believe. He is a 6x7 that we rough scored at 370 and hopefully I will get a green score real soon. I feel very fortunate and lucky to have harvested this bull of a lifetime especially in our state and wish everyone who really loves to hunt elk with a bow could one day experience how I feel. Out of consideration for guys who helped me out with info on the area I am not going to give out the eastside unit name so please don't ask. Sorry for the short and sweet version here but really the pics tell it all!  Scott  nwhunter

Awesome nwhunter, sounds like you made the most of your tag. I am going crazy reading all these success stories knowing my tag will not get used until December.
