Nice bull!
How far did he run with the arrow?
I'm thinking about archery elk hunting next year, and still trying to get a good idea of what I'll be dealing with.

Awesome bull. Congrats. That's a great accomplishment with a bow. My dad & brother are heading out there for the Oct either-sex draw 1st rifle hunt. I hope that both of them can get nice elk. You'll have some great meat for the freezer now. Congrats again.

Thanks guys, I called the bull in with cow calls, there were a couple of cows that came in first, my buddy didn't want to shoot a cow, I would have but they were not on my side or shootable from where I was. Two bulls were bugling and this one snuck in to my left and uphill, I tried to stop himbut he kept coming, I shot at 25 yards slightly quartered to me, the arrow caught the on side shoulder and passed through the ribs opposite. I cow called and he slowed and fell 30 yards away. The other bull kept bugling so I bugled and raked a tree, he then chased a cow right to us, they walked right beside the dead bull, my buddy didn't have a clean shot and passed a P&Y bull. It was an awesome morning! I shoot a CSS Swampmaster at 60# with gam,etracker carbon express arrows and exp 100 expandable broadheads.
Nice bull Wapiti!! That's awesome that you got him with your bow! I am going on my first elk hunt in Colorado this year, but unfortunately I am going with my rifle. I am going for the second season, my buddy has a spot he hunts on public land, he is 5 for 7 years now. I have to drive from Pennsylvania blindfolded (ha ha, he doesn't take many people to his "secret" spot), so I feel quite fortunate to have gotten the invite from him!

Nice animal and great picture. I really need to do a elk hunt sometime in the near future.
Nice Bull Wapiti! Indeed.
That must take great dicipline and patience to wait for the right shot being that close to such a beast. Way to go.
h2obobh2o - i remember you talked about this elk hunting trip last year. I wish you well but i still can't believe your gonna drive. I flew Southwest airlines out of Baltimore for the second hunt last year and the cost was $80 total round trip!!! Of course it was only a little more than a month after 9/11 so the plane was empty.
Actually i don't blame you for driving, flying still makes me very nervous. Good Luck!
