As much as I look forward to bowhunting whitetail……I’d trade my 3 month season for the 3 minutes or less you had with that bull!
Visualizing such and knowing the rush I would have gotten with the thoughts of a POSSIBLE shot at a bull elk has me near stuttering!
Two elk hunts in my younger years, both disasters without a single elk bugle heard……let alone one seen.
The posts here on bowhunting elk fire me up like nothing I can read otherwise, and I give thanks that my brethren like you and David…..and others, have a life including the reality of having such at hand, short though the seasons may be.
Whitetail give me long, long days and many weeks of great times, great memories, immeasurable amounts of education and are, indeed, my life quest and therefore they are priceless…….one chance at a shot at a bull elk would have been my “once in a lifetime” dream.
Lots of “pros” within my life of bowhunting deer yet there always remain dreams of more. Grass is greener syndrome. LOL
But yet…….my glass is not half empty but more near 80 percent full, which I give thanks for annually. No complaints that have merit to be honest.
Post photos of your bull…..next year! 😀
God Bless
