finally got into elk this weekend. I called in a cow to 25-30 yards but let her go. 10 minutes later I called in a herd of 2 cows, 2 calves and a 4 point bull.
Was at full draw and could have taken the first cow out but waited for the bull to show himself and when the 4 point stepped out I was debating whether or not I was gonna let one fly. But the damn thing stopped behind a tree as the other elk winded me. He then spun around and went straight downhill leaving no shot.
But I have no remorse for not taking a shot. It was my first time calling anything in (2nd year bowhunting) and it was a kick ass experience.
I know that may have been my one chance for this year but I am still pumped up about getting out there and trying to call something in again.
weather conditions are just right for the start of the rut, 33 degrees this am with rain mixed in and the highs are only going to be in the 50-60's all week.
