3 Deer and 12 Elk
« on: December 07, 2009, 07:59:24 PM »
Just my luck for this year, the area that I'm hunting is closed for archery elk. I had 12 cows and calfs within 20 feet of me. I had the big cow dead to rights..Too bad for me...

The 3 deer were no shots. Too much brush for a good heart/lung shot. I could have tried for a spine shot, but thoght better of it..Too much brush on my side to shoot through..

Oh well there is always next weekend...

That sucks. I thought every unit was open for archery elk.

LOUD real loud..The deer would of had to be deaf and half dead just to get within bow range.. All the animals I saw were down low, and out of the wind.. It was colder then a well diggers butt in the Artic..
