Title: First archery elk kill (late season)
Post by: teegansdad on December 03, 2014, 01:06:35 PM: So here it is my first archery cow elk harvest at 47yds it was pretty cool experience. I hunted my multi season elk tag hard this year!! I thought for sure I was eating tag soup this year. The cool thing was I stuck her 1/4 mile from my rig and she walked towards my rig and died 15yds from it. Talk about sweet ;) oh and check out the hoof rot pic this was GMU 530
