My First Elk is a nice one
« on: October 03, 2009, 09:18:58 PM »
150 yards hit it in the neck from behind while it was laying down.  I love those T/C shockwaves.  The new peep sights are a huge success.  Taxidermist needed!!! :IBCOOL:

No he did not die in the road, I wish, we used a 4 wheeler to get him there and a lot of mule tape.  It would have been easier to have quartered him.  Rookie move on my part.  Wasted a lot of time and energy.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
