Nice bulls you guys!
My ek this year is just a little guy but I'm happy with him just the same. Hit him on the right side highish at 40 yards as he was partially behind a hill. My new 82nd airborne barked out my 355 grain stinger tipped flatline at 342 fps. The arrow went thru the right side shoulder blade, double lunged him, and ended up sticking out 14". He only went 37 yards.
Keep em comin...

This was a Solo hunt. Shot this bull on Sept. 6 at 9:20am Colorado over the counter unit. I cow called about 4 times and looked to my left and there he was about 60 yards out coming right at me. He came in quietly, never bugled. I ended up shooting him at 15 yards. He went about 60 yards and piled up. No tracking needed, I watched him fall. Great hunt. The only sad part is that I am done hunting. I am very pleased with this bull.

Third year hunting, first elk. OTC in Colorado. Cow Called him in on Sept 5. Was crazy. My first shot double lunged him about 4 inches behind the front shoulder. He ran a little and stopped... So I put another one in quartering away. Hit about 6 inches behind the front shoulder. He went down within 20 yards. When I walked up to him, he jumped up and ran a short distance, and I put another one through both lungs. I was using Rocky Mountain 3-blade Titanium broadheads. I'll post a couple photos. The first one above shows my first shot.

If anyone wants to trade a quality elk hunt for a SE Iowa Private land Whitetail hunt let me know. I own land and have access to hundreds/thousands of acres. I would need to also include my buddy on the elk hunt since he owns/farm rents most of the land. Our whitetail land has extremely low pressure and is only hunted by the two of us and occasionally my dad (when my dad who lives in Illinois draws a tag he hunts approximately 10 days a year). We can gaurntee a shot opportunity on a 140+ class whitetail, however; we only shoot 5.5 year old or older bucks but easily fill our tags every year. You guys are killing me, I love shooting giant whitetails, but I have to try some elk hunting.
PM me if interested

I had super day today bowhunting elk near my home. I got up at 5 am and was hiking by 6 am, called my wife at 8 am and cow called and bull answered right away. Then I bugled to him and cow called again and he came real fast. I ran down ...and met him half way and shot him at 9 yards, he went 20 yards and crashed, shot him at 8:30 am. My wife and a friend came up with the horses. I recruited about dozen boys ( city kids, they were all over whelemed by the expirence and they all thanked me) and their team leader from the school my wife and I work at and the meat all packed out by 5:00 pm.

I called this bull into 9 yards, he came in broadside and turned and faced me. There was a thread not to long ago on here about a frontal shot, I shot him through his brisket and into his heart (buried the arrow 3/4 into him) , he went 20 yards and piled up. I would take that shot again, if one were that close. I used 300 gran easton epics and 100 gran thunderheads and my jennings buckmaster G2.

Man- some really nice bulls guys! Way to go you first timers! Chris Roe- really nice. Lou- you just keep getting it done. Well this is my second leg of my three state hunt. Got a nice velvet 6x6 in Utah and this bull from New Mexico. Khunter called him in for me splashing and raking at his water hole. A nice easy 14 yard shot from my Mathews SB with a FMJ Axis arrow tipped with a Montec G-5 got it done. I am going to hunt this last weekend in my home state of Colorado and try to get the dream season closed with a third 6 point. Good luck all who are still at it. Don

I'm jeleous of you all. I hunted hard for 9 days in NM during some serious rutting behavior. Saw some incredible bulls! I called in a monster to 66.5 yards the first morning, and that set my standards. I saw the bull twice after that, but never could get him within my effective range. I passed on a dozen cows and about a half dozen bulls, one a decent 5X5. In the end the only tag I filled was my fall turkey tag.
I had an unbelieveable time, but sure wish I had a picture of ANY elk to post this year. Congratulations and great job to all you guys!!!

Ok, so on Sept 3rd, the third day of my hunt we had already had a lot of elk coming in, the bulls were hanging up at 60 yds and letting the cows come in and check out the calls and in the past I have passed up a lot of shots waiting for bulls but this year I told myself I would not pass up a good shot on a lead cow if I had one. We hunted the morning and bumped about 15 elk, my buddy Keven suggested we split up and sit, but I was not about to go sit, I heard a bull where I have encountered many before and I went down into a deep hell hole where I have seen a bunch of elk, I sat on a log and cow called a few times. I heard a bugle about 300 yds away so I started moving that way 50 yds at a time cow calling to see how committed this bull was, it sounded like a smaller bull so I figured he was alone, I could not see any elk and I checked the wind and circled down wind until I got to about 30 yds, could not see any elk at this point, the bull was going crazy bugling every 3 seconds I was pumped I got on my knees and cow called into the trees to try and not pinpoint my position, I was on a steep incline looking up at a 45 degree angle. The bull started to move in my direction, he bugled like crazy and was getting closer, moving faster, then at 15 yds a cow came over the hill and was walking/looking right at me, she froze and the bull was coming, I was at full draw on my bow and I made the decision that if this cow gave me a shot I would take it or she was going to bolt and take the herd with her, she flinched and jumped sideways and walked 5 yards and stopped at 10 yds from me, I put my pin on her and released an arrow that disappeared right in the pocket behind her shoulder. I knew I made a good shot, she bolted and I immeditely cow called to her to try and stop her, I watched her run for 2 seconds stop look and take two steps and disapear into the woods. I took a deep breath and saw my arrow right behind where I shot, I snuck up and took a look at the arrow, it was covered in blood with no damage, I marked everything on my GPS and with trail tape, I waited 20 minutes, I was very confident in my shot and what the arrow was telling me. I started looking for blood but there was no blood at all, I started to get nervous and think that I wounded another animal, but I played everything over in my head and I started looking at where I last saw her and she was 3 steps away piled up, I lost sight of her because she fell dead. After butchering her in the woods right in the spot of the picture I made a perfect heart shot! To Jeremy and Ryan, I hope my streak of wounding is over! That is what happened and it took about 9 hours to butcher and pack her out with 3 people 2 1/2 miles from the truck downhill. I have to give a big thanks to BB, and some others that stressed shot placement in that pocket, I looked at those threads so many times that when the shot came, It was instant and no hesitation! BB your the man and I thank you for your neverending information. This is my first elk in 7 seasons of elk hunting 2 shoulder blade hits in previous seasons,so I did not want to do that again. I am going to post some pictures BB so you can see that people really listen and you do help us.

He ran by me at 5 feet!, glunking away, soon as he was past, i drew, mouth called and he stopped 1/4ring away, i let the arrow go at 20 yards and it went in perfect. he went 110 yards and tipped over. Great hunt and congrats to all that put meat in the freezer. nice pics to look thru!

No worries, though, as I took many of the same photos with his camera. I'm sure he'll be here later today to post them.
He took this 8 X 7 bull two HOURS into our drop camp hunt! Which meant that jrarey and I had a campjack for the rest of the hunt. lol

Wow. Those are some great bulls folks! Congrats all!
OTC public land DIY. This is a buddy we took with us this year, Sandy Parker, a young man (fireman) we got into bowhunting about 2 years ago and it was a duck to water. This was his first elk hunt ever. As for the pic he wouldn't let me take one without me in it. Sorry, not my fault. =D
This was a blast. Bugled him in like he had read the script, screaming all the way. I had Sandy set up 40 or 50 yards in front. He screamed 3 times in the last 100 yards, the last one right in Sandy's face. "Com'on Sandy... keep it together man..." He made the shot and as the bull turned started to run I screamed and stopped him. No chance for a follow up shot but every time he started to take a step I stopped him again. He was there for maybe 10 min wobbling and swaying. Finally moved off a little ways and tipped over.
I think I had more fun dong that than shooting it myself, calling and watching from the front row seat. Seeing and hearing the shot. Pretty cool.
I've got to get better at pics. With the camera on the ground and the head tilted back this is a better 5x5 than the pic shows. Also it always amaizes me how pictures make the country look flatter than it is. I'm 5'7" on my good days and Sandy is about 6'3".
Congrats Sandy. Sorry about starting that little elk addiction you have now.

Another ID OTC public land DIY bull with kind of a twist.
Saw the 4x5 in the morning bedded at about 150 yards. Slipped into 31 yards and hit him perfect. He stumbled getting up and ran maybe 20 yards plowing into a tree like hitting a wall and down. Cool! Got one!
When I got up and looked at him I noticed mine weren't the only holes in him. Someone else had shot him. My buddy Sandy was only up the mountain about 200 yards and was finishing up disassembling his bull with my other buddy David. David had been looking for a bull he hit the morning before. The bloodtrail was a tough one but he had followed it a long way up to near where Sandy's went down. He took a break from it to help Sandy.
Called them on the walkie talkies and said "you guys aren't going to believe this..." David came down and confirmed his bull. It had gone maybe a mile and a half from where he shot it. He probably would have come on it later himself to be honest, David is relentless and doesn't give up.
So, long story short, I shot and killed a bull. Just wasn't my bull. LOL! It was some fun and excitement for the morning anyway.
From: TD
30-Sep-09
David and his bull. Happiness and relief. Only another 2 miles to camp and 2 bulls on the ground.
It was hot this year and between the weather and a bit more hunter pressure than I remembered they were on the quiet side. A storm blew in for one night and the temps finally dropped to 27, a frost on the ground and they cranked up a bit, we shot 2 bulls that day. Then it warmed up the rest of the time and they slowed down again.
In all I bugled in 4 bulls, killed one, I had another 5x5 a little bigger than Sandy's broadside at 26 yards, hung up behind a tree for several minutes. Ranged him from his butt. I had his head and neck and his butt but no shot at vitals. I knew he was on the edge of my windline and finally the swirl I was dreading came. I saw his eyes get as big as saucers, his body tensed up and he turned slowly and tippy toed away for 30 or 40 yards and then blasted out of the gates like a racehorse. Rats. 26 yards and 1 or 2 steps. Solo calling is tough. (I'm the only one in the group that bugles) The team thing works much better. We didn't do too bad, went 2 for 4.
Gawd I love this stuff. Congrats to all again!
Can't wait for next year already.

First trip elk hunting. Struggled to make the right play for what bulls that would talk. Messed up on the setup on a couple that came in silent. Blew on e stalk. Found the mother load of sign on Day 5 and stupidly layed off that area on Day 6. Day 7 of the hunt lasted less than an hour when a small herd dropped right in my lap. I shot this cow on the move at 12 yards. She went 20 and piled up, though she rolled about 400 yards down the mountain afterward. Adding up the miles - 82 in seven days. Wish I could go back tomorrow.

I shot him on Sept 28th. Called him in with Hot Lips and a Hoochie Mama, he came in lickn his lips but silent. Took him at less than 20 yards. He had one thing on his mind. Ladies!!! He was a 4x4 when I shot him and a 1x3 when he died. He crashed so hard against a windfall, he broke off both eye gaurds and 3 points off the main beam. It filled the freezer though. I do have to give a shout out to Chet Mervin,I was 8 miles back, made my first pack out to my jeep, when he drove up and told me I could use his horse, saddle and packs to get out the other 3 quarters and my camp. No charge, no nothin but a good old boy that saved me two more days of packin. If you see him tip your hat to him, that's a genuine good fella.

yes i killed it with a rifle but i was lucky i was even able to go elk hunting this year i was diagnosed with cancer and my feet were swollen very bad. luckily me and the guides caught a herd of around 100 elk feeding down the mountains into this hay field. where we snuck around in front of them to get a shot.the only cover we could find was an old run down barn near the edge of the hay field. if we could sneak to it i could get a shot.there were 6 or 7 other branch antlered bulls in the herd.i picked out the biggest one and dropped him.yes this was all fair chase also.it was my first ever time elk hunting.colorado unit 64

This is my 2009 bull. Shot in British Columbia on October 12 with a rifle. My second bull, and damn happy with him. Has to be a 6-point or better bull on one antler here in rifle season, so finding legal bulls can be an issue. Figure he's about 270-275 class 5x6, great mass.
