Well yesterday I ended my elk hunting for the year….I had the little 5 point eventually come in after about 30 minutes of hearing him break brush and chomping his food… He never made any other sounds , no responding to calls and I couldn’t see him at all…. Most of the time I heard him I was sure it was a bear feeding his way through…He would sound like he was getting closer and I kept grabbing the camera to take a pic when he stepped out and then I seen a nose and sure enough it was this little bull so grabbed my bow and got ready….
He stepped out and I shot him right below my tree stand at 13 yards.. I hit him high behind shoulder ( was about 45degree angle) and he went 10 yards and I cow called to soothe him and he toppled over..
The downside is while dressing him I cut my left index finger to the bone and had to rush to town to get sewn up.. Ended up with 10 stitches….
The other upside was I have great friends and family !!!!!!!! They ended up finishing the dressing , getting him to truck and skinning him out ……
