Archery Roosevelt Bull
« on: September 17, 2011, 08:41:20 PM »
So after hunting out of state and eastside the last 6 years I was looking forward to hunting closer to home and chasing the elusive roosevelt elk. It didnt take long to remember why they are the toughest elk to hunt/kill. Combine brush,dry hot weather and full moon and it makes for tough hunting. I did put my time in and hiked some mean miles trying to find a big bull before I found this bull with some cows. Thursday am I got on them and he was bugling and I was able to trail along and eventually got close enough for a shot which I missed. Came back in that night with my boy and we tried to find them but no luck. Stayed out after dark and located them with some bugles so I knew where to start the next morning. It took a while to figure out where they had gone but eventually I caught up to them and was able to kill this bull which is the same one I missed so I guess I redeemed myself. He's no giant but will be a good eater and it was nice to notch a tag on a rosie again. nwhunter

There's not a whole lot of people that hunt the OP that would've passed that one up.  Nice bull.

Well done Scott!  That will keep me motivated to get out there right now. Always nice to see a local bull kill the minute before you're heading out the door.
