Nice bull man!!!! Great to be able, to have the family with you like that too. It doesn't happen a lot. Enjoy.

Fantastic bull and a great story!

Tree stand elk hunting.....laughable imo. The guys in Texas might. The ones who have moved here and are trying to develop food plots for elk, might. .

It wasn't a clearcut, it was a foodplot wasn't it Draht?

 

[Big O]

Just too cool! Nice job and nice bull!

Absolutely, I have hauled a hundred bags of biologic into there. LOL

Whatever dude, its a tough place to hunt from the ground, its a tight creek drainage with swirling winds that screw you 9 out of 10 times, I killed my bull last year fifty yards from this one from the ground, but it was in pouring rain so the scent wasn't being blown all over heck.

I put up the stand because I may have a torn PCL from my hike last weekend where I was trying to hunt elk "the right way" apparently. If I couldn't call him down to me, I'd a got down and went after him. I do what I can to give myself a chance. Sometimes, that is hunt smarter and not harder.

Just like on Pirates of the Caribbean "Dead men tell no tales." So do elk like that. "Dead elk tell no tales."
I wish I was "laughably" cutting up meat right now.

I didn't know you were from Texas Draht.

 

[drahthaar]

Its a secret I try to keep. LOL

 

[smalls]

Awesome, job!!! You took an awesome bull! I just helped drag another bull out of the woods. That's two in a week for my family, we aren't getting picky anytime soon and as long as they are mature beauties like this one you shouldn't either. Great job!

 

[ismith]

Great bull! Congrats!
