Here is a bull I took on the dutton with archery equipment. This is my first elk ever. Can't wait to go chase them again. I met a lot of great guys on that mountain. Hopefully I will see them up there again. Thanks also to a good friend Dr.Hunter for the equipment that made it easier to pack out this bull all by myself. It took me 3 trips and 5 1/2 hrs. I would do it all again. I called the bull into 30 yards. A well placed arrow made for an easy tracking job. I heard the bull fall and watched him pass within 40 yards of where I hit him. A hunt to remember. All in all I hunted 12 days. Thanks also to a loving wife who can run a house while I'm out hunting.
This bull got the last laugh as he died in a red ant pile. I could not move him more than a couple feet. I received red ant bites all over my hands and arms.
This is 5 hrs later. Sharp knives are a must. My dull knife cost me some time. I did make it out before another thunderstorm hit and got me soaked again like all my other days of hunting.
