Daughter's first elk
« on: September 20, 2018, 12:16:27 AM »
Second year of archery hunting and over a week of hunting in both the manastash and clockum but she was successful.
Just getting off the mountain now. Tomorrow
It's dad's turn to have a chance to tag our third cow of the season and hopefully this pic posts.

Hunted hard the first 4 days. We switched hunting areas Sunday morning because our area near yakima wasn't productive. 10 minutes upon arrival in our new spot we missed shots on  2 elk at 30yds about 200yds from the truck. Each day at this other spot we had shots on elk. We had alot of elk out there and at times surrounded by monster bulls bugling back and forth. Pissed at our cow calls. But the elk were up high. About 2000ft of climbing in rough terrain. The first one was up top and took 2 trips with 4 of us  to pack out. So yesterday after a later start we decided to hunt lower. At 6pm the cow call brought this big cow coming down the hill talking up a storm. Ranged her at 50 yrds uphill. Her first shot was a little high and severed the spine. She came crashing down the hill and stuck by a tree. My daughter sent another through the lungs to finish her off. Then between the steep hillside and lack of light it took forever to process her. We finally got her to the truck about 11pm. We had 6 of us so packout was made in 1 shot. Total trip was 4 days of nothing and then we missed 4 shots and killed 2 in 4 days but lots of work. 5500ft elevation and hard hiking but worth it.
