My First Kill Ever!!! Willapa Hills 506 Sept 14th
« on: September 20, 2009, 08:01:53 PM »
Well now that im finally back from my 2 week early archery hunt i decided i would share my first kill with everyone on here. Its a 5x5 from the willapa hills unit 506. I took it with my bow @ 10ft at full run. thats right feet! not yards. I thought the shot was back further at first but i knew my arrow connected after we checked where it ran we immediately found blood 5 ft away from where it was shot and knew it was good. Turns out i had a perfect double lung and almost a pass through if the arrow hadnt broke in 3. it cut all the way through to the other rib cage but didnt go through the cape. It ran 70yds mostly because it was already at full run and luckily it went down less than 60yds from a road parallel to it in some reprod. so we drove the truck down hill of it on the road and cut a path through the reprod and blueberry bushes with some big pruners and my machete and quartered it out. Its the closest ive ever been to an elk let alone the rest of the herd. Ill post story when i have more time. But i know how things go and everyone prefers a visual instead of literature so here it is....

My first ever kill in 3 years of hunting, my 2nd year with archery. Never killed anything ever while hunting let alone attempted even launching a arrow at a live animal till this guy. enjoy....



Me and one of my hunting buddies



Me and my father inlaw that got me started on hunting....

 :drool: I have hunted that area for deer, but that bull sure looks good. A buddy of mine has been out there for a week, have not heard from him yet.  CONGRATULATIONS!

There's a reason they call it hunting, not killing.
