Woke up at 4:30 am and started hiking. Saw 6 bears and 6 does and one little spike that I failed to get with my bow. Then came across this guy raking his velvet off on a fallen log. Dropped the bow and grabbed the rifle from dad! Put one in the spine, said my prayers, took some pics, and then the work began! He was green scored, and total gross was 165. with deductions he was 156 something

Well, had my 6x6 elk down by 730 this morning. Me and my brother have been working this area since last year when we had some good action, but missed oportunities. This year first time out (11th) we had 4 return bugels but no other action, today, up at 4am out to the bush 5, into our spot by 5:30, cow calls, nothing, bugel, nothing, we hung around about an hour with not a sound anywhere. We decided to head back up to the clear cut above a km away where we had seen some old rubs and had called one out last year. We get there, sit down, cow call wait 15min, nothing, bugel, 30sec later a bull chuckels about 200 yards out in the cut, he snuck right out without us seeing him, he continues to move towards us in a semi circle, never presenting a shot, we ID him as a shooter and have him pegged to come up about 75yards in front of us us he disappeared behind a swell, well all of a sudden he shows 75 yarsd to our left!!! catches a sniff, turns and starts trotting off, my brother hits the hoochie mumma and he stops about 100 yards out facing straight away with only the back of his head showing, i bring the cross hairs down slowly, as they reach mid head, squeeze, boom, down he goes for the count!! couldn't wait for a better shot as there was heavy willow/popular cover all the way to the bush line. The the work began!! but all worth it, now my brother is on his my over for some cold ones!!! oh what a day...

This is my second entry in the bow hunting category.
I was elk hunting and not getting very far with it. So the last morning I took this buck. He's not big but kind of unique, being palmated. 4X5
There's a picture in the gallery that show's it better.

After 4 years my bro and I finally got our first alpine monster. The first evening we got busted on our stalk but we found him again the next morning up on a ridge. The second time around we didn't make any fatal mistakes and got within 200 yards of his bedding spot. After a few minutes he stepped out into the open and that was the end. It was a long heavy pack out but it was worth it.
