The opening day of archery season in CO. Was so excited when I had the opportunity to see a 6x6 bull elk walking in front of me at 27 yards and moving away, hoping he may offer better shooting position I wait but he stop at 33 yds. Putting his head up like trying to catch my scent and at this moment I thought there won't be any other chance for me with this bull, then took a shot a little less than quarter away position; the arrow disappear behind his ribs cage and the guy run away without knowing what's happening there.
I wait for about 40 min. trying to catch my breath, holding my impatient and pinching my face to find out it wasn?t a dream.
For about 80 yds The blood trail was easy to follow and also found the place where the bull laid down and drop more blood, but after that I loose the blood trail and found it again 2 days later with the valuable help from my hunting partner who sacrifice so much of his hunting time looking for the blood spots, some times on his knees to look closer at the ground.
About 3:30 PM on Monday we found a big spot of blood and 20 yds. Further in the mud pond the bull or part of it, the coyotes ate most of the meat and the only part we rescued was the antlers.
I have the antlers and Id like to mount them as my first elk trophy, then please if any one of You have info where to buy a cape at reasonable price let me know.
I will appreciate your help and comments about my mistakes, hoping to learn from it.
