Really nice story. Was so hoping you would connect, was rooting for you. That's what makes it great to get another go at it. Good luck in the future.

I swear I lived that story this year, just it was a cow elk tag in Kentucky! I had a lot more bad luck then good, but made a new friend and had a season I'll never forget!

Great Story, Incredible hunt and pictures. Thank you for taking great pictures and sharing it with us.
Your hunting was Very Successful. You continuously put yourself in bow range of Elk. Cant ask for much more than that.

I was heartbroken at the end of this one. This was an excellent story. Thanks for saving it till now!
Wind is tough to fight. Do you use some method to lower your scent level?

Great thread, good idea to stash it away until now! It was a wonderful read on a cold and dark Minnesota morning with a couple cups of coffee...

Thanks for all the compliments guys! Malachi I try to keep as clean as possible. But honestly after hiking all day it's near impossible. Even if we could, regardless of what scent elimination companies try to sell, when the wind goes from you to the elk, the gigs up. This past years winds were the worst I've ever hunted in. But that's the way it goes. You play the hand you're dealt, and hope for the best

Ryan,your hunt is been a great success in experience,fisical conditions and skills. Not easy to arrive so close at so many bulls. With another weapon you would have plenty of hero pics but for sure not a better hunter. To me a great hunt is something that you conquer the hard way with less chances the critters you are after have.
Congrats my friend, I hope to meet you again soon.
