I was shooting a PSE Carbon Air at 70# with a bloodsport ONYX arrow with a 125gr gravedigger broadhead. Total arrow weight was right at 500grains.

How bout a story to go with that awesome critter?
>How bout a story to go
>with that awesome critter?
Once I drew the tag I immediately began scouting. The unit is a non traditional elk hunt with a small population of elk and temperatures around 100degrees during the day and chiggers and rattlesnakes are common. This particular bull showed up on (3) different cameras of mine making him tough to pattern. I put on 2000 miles on my razor scouting and checking cameras through the summer leading up to the hunt. I was never able to locate the bull in person but would get pics of him periodically. Four weeks before the opener he had vanished from every camera.
I decided to go up 3 days before the hunt in hopes of locating the bull. On Tuesday evening I was headed back to my camp from scouting all day and decided to stop at a glassing spot I had glassed from all summer with 15 minutes of light left. I immediately picked the bull up with cows on a hillside and decided I would come back there the next morning. The next morning I found him again and I stayed watching him from dark to dark and did the same for the next 2 days until the opener.
I ended up bumping the bull and his cows on opening morning while stalking in and luckily I had alot of buddies on different knobs watching him and finally after a couple stalks I was able to slip in on him and get an arrow off. The bull ran a couple hundred yards and piled up.
