3 Deer and 12 Elk

[Hunterman]

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.

Nope,, not the Mashel 654. Plus I didn't have an elk tag..

654 isn't open? are you sure your not confusing it with the stormking?

[Hunterman]

Both units are closed for archery elk. Late archery elk that is..

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..
