Found my Archery bull Mt nebo 21 days later

[elknr]

After over 15 days of hunting Mt nebo i finally found my Archery bull over 21 days later with my second arrow broke in his neck confirming it was mine.Thanks to the guy who looked at it for weeks.To mike from colorado thanks again there is some decent guys still out there.I posted it on october 5 on here mm and was called 2 hours later with exact location.I was just as stoked as i was when i seen him run off with two arrows hitting him.SO i had to go and happily change my harvest report to successful.To you guys posting on here about your lost bulls,Thanks thats what gave me the idea to post here and dont give up looking.Keep up hope and never stop trying.And Thanks again to all guys on here who gave me places to start,this is a very ruff place to hunt elk,But very rewarding in the end.I only seen roughly 15 elk on my whole hunt.Pretty tough for limited entry.But i guess thats why it didnt take so many points to draw.

Sometimes you can only do what you can do!
Thanks for sticking with it(the find) and not shooting another LE Bull & thanks for not wounding 2 more LE Bulls!
Way to stick with the recovery!

I know how that goes and it is bittersweet.

Congrats on succeeding in the end.

Thanks guys.Especially ram87 .After it happened once to a buddy of mine i didnt think it would happen to me.But be worned if you bring home an animal that has been dead for 2 weeks.The stinch doesnt go away very fast cause everything i touched that day stinks,But well worth all the smell to bring home a set of antlers From Mt Nebo.Thanks elknr
