My 2007 ELK

[rougheye]

I cant get any moere pics ,it says they are to large,anyway I had alot of people help me that day and I greatly appreciate it.Also I found out afterwards that my bow was all out of time ,thats why I didnt get good  penetration.The guy by my house really screwed my bow up good.The nock point fixed everything pretty quick.They are the best,worth the 2 hour drive IMO.

  Great looking bull, the emotional ups & downs can be overwhelming at times during ones hunts! It's amazing how quickly things can change, it's no wonder we don't all have gray hair by 35!!! (grin)

I am sorry that i was to sick to make it to watch the hunt but when you called me and told me you got that sucker nothing was keeping me home not even my 103 degree temp. Glad I was there to help pull it out one of the greatest weekends in my life.
You should tell them what the guy at the nock point told you that people were saying about your elk.

Great bull and story. Thanks

That's just an awesome story and kill. It was cool the warden helped you out. That must have taken a little anxiety off, but I know that until you finish the job it's stressful. I was wondering if you had the rack or if the Taxidermist had it. Is it done or what's the time frame there? Let me know when you get it and Ill buy you a cold one and we can toast to a magnificent animal.

Great photo and loved the story.  Were your broadheads flying off center or something?  I can't imagine how you felt waiting for the bull to die and everyone waiting with you.  That area winters a lot of bulls.  There are many five acre parcels sprouting up too and I wonder how long the elk are going to last.  I got a bull in that area last year though not as good as yours.  Good job.

 hunterofelk, do you have a pic of him? we would still like to see any new kills to help us through this off season ... I'm ready to go hunting allready, is it really only March?

[hunterofelk]

I'll ride on rougheye's coat-tails.  I've posted this pic before, but I don't mind showing it again.



Had a short rack, but the points were long enough.  Just a good-eating, average sized bull elk, just what I've wanted for thirty years now.  Can't get too many elk like this...no room for the shoulder mounts.

[rougheye]

hunterofelk I did see that one once before, but I'm not sure of the story but thanks for posting that's a great bull from one of my favorite hunting areas great job!

One of the reasons I wrote this story is because I was at the nock point and they had heard a different story.It involved me sitting in the wardens truck for over an hour ,getting a ticket for tresspasing,and 2 county sheriffs hauling my ass off.  I guess if I drove by and saw a hunter in the wardens truck watching an elk that was shot I might jump to conclusions to.Oh well.     2 sheriffs did come out because of all the hunters that kept stopping to look at my bull.It was like a frickin traffic jam a couple of times.Anyway it was a great hunt and so many people helped me.
