LAST EDITED ON Sep-13-12 AT 10:32AM (MST)[p]Tagged my first elk yesterday. That was a tough hunt but I had some buddies that took time to help out when I was right at the point of burn-out.

Our fellow MM'er DBG3285 I met here was a HUGE, HUGE help the previous weekend and yesterday when I got this thing on the ground. I'm used to whitetail hunting and the size of these critters blew me away. Glad he was there because even though I did a little homework, when I looked at this thing dead I was thinking "now what?"

My other buddy coaxed him in with a great calling sequence. He went from hung-up...to curious...to dead.

Sweet! You shoulda given me a buzz I woulda loved to come help you pack him out!

They were talking briefly in the mornings so we got up very early and picked the easiest one to go after (not the biggest), moved in at shooting light. My arrow hit a branch but still hit vitals. Definetly lucked out there. No way around that.
