Yea O@U it was a weard evening hunt I shot a 3 coyotes fairly early all 60 yds plusover a water hole.(coyotes 3 me 0)About 5 a 280ish 5 by 6 came in wich I promptly shot over his back at 20yds.To this day I can't explain that shot.When that spike came in it was getting dusky at the shot but it felt good and I watched him lay down 40 behind the stand,backed out and came back in the morning.If Y'all were counting thas 5 missing arrows from 6 previouslly full slots.Needless to say when I returned I had a full quiver.Found the bull were I left him and never took another shot.

I was lucky enough to be able to hunt WY in 2000 and take a 320 class bull.  Can't wait to get back out there again, I've got 2 elk points, 8 moose points, and 8 sheep points.  Probably looking at 2011 for a combo of elk and moose. Nice pics every one !!   Joe

Terry, They were in New Mexico.  I have hunted elk in Colorado as well, but I always seemed to mess up there.  Plenty of chances - even more excuses.
Looking to use my preference points in Wyoming this year and find the bull of my dreams!  :pray:

I am so jealous of you guys!!! I have one cow elk to my credit with 2 misses on bulls in 6 years of OTC Colorado tags. How do you miss something the size of a voltswagen my wife asked last year? Next year I have enough points for unit 7 in WY hopefully will change my luck. Great pics guys!

That sounds like one exciting water hole with lots of action!!  3 shots on coyotes no matter hit or miss is awesome!!!!  Well done with the recovery!!  Any elk with a trad bow is quite the accomplishment!!   Now an elk with an invisible arrow...that is another story all together!!    :bigsmyl:     JK..

Great Pics everyone!!!  September cannot come quick enough!!

i am trying to find the pics of my biggest bull with a trad bow.biggest ever actually...347 dry...5yd shot.perfect six...had only one inch deduction..gave the rack away..cant eat the horns,woulda shot a spike just as dead.i absolutely would rather be dead than not be able to call in elk and teach others what i have learned calling elk.this is the sport that feeds my need.

Nice elk everyone. How about some bow stats, draw weight and length, bow you used and arrow weight.
