Originally posted by Patton View PostI got my first archery elk in Colorado and was able to help a friend get his first elk as well. Spark notes on my bull: Morning 1. Had located elk and closed in, spotted a bull bedded at 70-80 yards. My buddy started raking, a much larger bull than what we saw bedded approached from a direction I wasn’t ready for. We didn’t know he was there and I had very limited cover. He comes in and bugles in my face at 10 yards while pi$$Ing on himself and drooling. I drew when he walked passed me at around 13 yards to my 9:00 but got busted. He ran to 30yrd but stopped with branches over his vitals, I stayed at draw hoping for a window but he turned and walked directly away. My buddy pointed behind me and the original, satellite bull we had seen had circled in downwind; I shot him at 32 yrds. Pass through and watched him fall over in 50 yards. We think we could have called the big bull back in but I was happy to take the given opportunity. RamCat broadheads with a 504gr TAW.
Friends bull: Day 4 morning. Had somebody else blow out the bulls we were moving in on. We followed them up the mountain and decided to wait at a pond while the thermals changed. Had 8 cows and a bull come in and put on a Nat Geo quality episode in the pond. The bull quickly laid down in the mud for over 5 minutes and finally stood when an intruder up the mountain let out a bugle. 63 yard shot through both lungs and stuck in the opposite shoulder.
Congrats Patton!

Got a meat bull in Idaho. Brutal hunt with lots of miles covered on foot and horseback. Passed on a small 3x4 on day two only to shoot a spike on day 5. That’s the way it goes sometimes. Happy to have a pile of meat coming home though. Will definitely be hunting elk again in the future.
Congrats to all the successful hunters!
