Well I finally got to go out and get some scouting done. I even talked the wife and boy into going along. They well less than excited at 4:30 a.m.
It was another amazing high country morning.....

We had no trouble finding game today. The antler growth is VERY good this year. These bulls were with a small group of cows, but the ladies moved into the tress and I only got pic's of the bulls....

I was just out in Colorado last week visiting family. I got to hike a bit in the mountains. You live in some of the most beautiful country I have ever seen. You took some great photos, saw some beautiful game, and spent time with your family all at the same time. What could possibly be better than that!

Could you please provide me with the coordinates for those elk... :goldtooth:
Great pictures, and appreciate you taking the time to share them with us, and taking time with your family, that is definatly time well spent.
That last buck is a monster!!! I would love to put a stalk on him!
Take care and good luck this season.

Well once I start I have a hard time stoppin'! Scouting that is.... It was such a nice evening I thought we had better drive across the river and check out my wifes deer spot. It was another awesome Shining Mountain evening....

I'm going to have to second the thought, "antler growth is very good this year". Its phenomenal! Length and is crazy already, bucks and bulls. Going to be fun to see those racks weaving throught the trees in a few weeks!

What an awesome morning! It has been a good season so far. I have seen some great bucks and bulls, but haven't been able to close the deal......until this morning.
(http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b310/Elksong/100_0352.jpg)
First, I would like to say that I am an Elkaholic. I have a problem, but I like it! I left the house this a.m. looking for a couple of big Mulie bucks that I knew where hittting a small pond. Some how I ended up on high point looking over some Elk country and sending off a locator bugle.
30 min. later I was 20 yards from this bull. He was with another bull that I never saw, just heard him bugle. This was the first calling I had heard so far this season. The bugled at me alot!
I shot him with a Cascade Golden Hawk Mag, lodgepole arrows and MA-3 broadheads.

I alomost forgot, my "secret" weapon. I didn't like the sound chamber on the grunt tube I bought. So I cut it off and played around with some other "parts". ended up with a Starbucks "venti" coffee cup on the end of the tube! Who knew Elk were attracted to coffee! :coffee:

Can you tell us about the shot,is that entry or exit in front of the shoulder in the pic? As a three blade guy myself, I'm always interested to hear about this.
Some would say(not me) you shouldn't use that bh for elk....

Curt- that is the entry. Arrow went in to the fletch, cut the top off the heart and cut both lungs. He only went 60 yards.
Old Growler - not quite 300, probably 270ish.

I wish the boy could have been with me when I shot the bull. He is a real trooper. Walks strong and has a ton of fun in the woods.

QuoteOriginally posted by Elksong:Great shot Jason! Not wanting to start stuff as I know some are not real hip on those shots, but I shot a bull a few yrs back at about 12 yds straight on. Arrow went in to the feathers, centered the heart and lungs. He dropped inside of 35 yds.
Curt- that is the entry. Arrow went in to the fletch, cut the top off the heart and cut both lungs. He only went 60 yards.
Good for you again Jason!!! I see a new Avatar in your future.

I figured I might get some grief for taking that shot, but how do you argue with results like a dead Elk inside of 60 yards from the shot? In reality ANY shot taken can have it's down falls if you make a mistake. TOO high or LOW or a little left or right, on any shot angle can lead to triumph or tragedy, for a bowhunter.

Elksoung if you have enough horsepower and enough arrow weight, why not take this shot?, now if your shooting 35-45lb's that's another story.
Nice job my friend

Adam -West central part of the state. These bulls were just in the right mood at the right time. I had not heard any bugle until I got into them. Heard my first bugle since I killed the bull this a.m. Good luck!
