Bow hunting can be frustrating at times, you have to expect that. But when it all comes together it is amazing. You don't even have to shoot something to have an amazing time. Two years ago I had an elk walk right up to me. I could have extended my finger out and touched her. That was as memorable as the day I shot my bull that year. I have been within 10 yards of elk so many times, I still shake like a leaf every time it happens. It's extremely addictive. Must be the adrenalin rush. I got none of that last year when I shot my bull with my rifle, don't get me wrong it was fun, and I'll do it again if I don't get one with my bow. Elk are good eating. When you take up bowhunting, don't get discouraged if you don't get something right away, when you do there's nothing like it. I am usually by myself, so this is the best picture I have of this bull. Shot him at 8 steps just after he bugled, I can still remember it like it was yesterday.
