Way to make that right with woodsmanship and love to see that TallTines doing its job      

Nothing better than a happy wife with a freezer full of elk meat!!!

I like that, good job on all the hunt and the story.

Fantastic story!  Congrats on the beautiful bull!  

I'm curious where the first two ended up?

Wow.  Read every word.  Great story. Loved it.

Congrats man!

Great Hunt and Well told Story. Congratulations !!! I have not been able to tell my story yet. Second year with a lost bull. Liver hit in New Mexico and then a storm blew in. Looked for 2 days and no luck.
Congratulations again !!!

Congratulations! I applaud your determination. If you had not gone back and used your senses, you would have never found the bull. That's what makes a good hunter. Be determined and hunt smart.

Well told story of a real hunt. Thanks for sharing. Aaron, your story reminds me of my last bull. I am sure you remember him from up Wildcat.  Thanks for sharing.

Brad...Thanks for asking.  I forgot to add that part last night.  Just as I had suspected, my first shot was almost center of the body, about 10-12" too far back, in short a paunch hit.  My second shot was about an inch and a half in front of the first shot which would have been almost perfect if the bull had been quartering away like I though at the shot, but the exit wound showed he was almost perfectly broadside.

Great story. Congratulations on your elk.

Great story great hunt you very much deserved that elk.I killed my only elk in the San Jaun's many years ago (not with a bow)but brought back memories thanks.Kip

What an emotional roller coaster... congrats. Thank you for sharing.
