Title: Little elk hunter
Post by: nwhunter on January 11, 2009, 08:21:12 PM: Now that I am a picture posting guru, here is another one I have of my boy sneaking up on a herd of elk here by the house. He has heard too many of dad's hunting stories and watched too many hunting videos so figured he would try it himself. I was at work but his grandpa was going to take a picture of the elk but Cole had different ideas and ran home and got his bow and homemade arrow and my cow call and the hunt was on! I think the elk were more curious than anything of what this kid was trying to do squeaking on the call but they came in to about 30 yards before grandpa , who was standing on the edge of the field hollered and waved his arms and blew the stalk. Cole was disgusted with his city slicker grandpa cause the bulls were behind the cows and he was just waiting for a shot! We had a talk after that about momma cows and calves and the possibility that maybe he could have gotten stomped. Glad grandpa took the pic before he messed up the hunt.nwhunter

Title: Re: Little elk hunter
Post by: Pathfinder101 on January 12, 2009, 07:03:58 PM: Agreed. One of the coolest pics I have ever seen.

My boy was 6 when he learned to bugle and cow call elk. Called in his first one that year. He was working him in, and the bull circled us, winded us and left. It got dark, so we started walking back to camp. Got about 400 yards from where we had been calling and suddenly they were all around us. It was dark so they couldn't see us. I whispered for Justin to mew once on his call. He did and that herd bull let out a bugle about 50 feet away. My boy just about crapped himself. I'll never forget that.

Post by: nwhunter on January 12, 2009, 08:35:08 PM: Thanks guys it is an awesome picture that grandpa took, so the photo credit goes to him but I will take credit for turning my kid into a hunting nut. And ya bucky he's already got one point for a big bull tag just hope its a few more years before he draws so he can help pack it out of one of those nasty holes. nwhunter
