With one tag left this season I bombed into a deep basin for my OTC elk tag and got it done killing the herd bull and biggest bull I could turn up in the drainage. My biggest bull ever. It’s 9.5 miles one way to this basin and it’s one of the most beautiful basins you can hunt elk in. 1 bugle once I slipped into 80 yards of him and his cows and he turned and defended his herd for the last time and shot him at 35 and again at 55. Two perfect shots. It was a beautiful backcountry hunt and I am very grateful for a season like this. It’s been a busy few weeks and I’m blessed to pull the meat I have off the mountain on some beautiful critters!
I switched to the 650 system and all I can say is wow. I just killed another elk in gold beach Oregon. Full pass through and my other arrow angled and broke only because he hit the ground and snapped it.
This is actually the first animal she has ever harvested with her bow and the first time she has ever come to full draw on an animal. She had about a 15 yard shot and the cow only went about 30 yds.
44 yards with the grizzlystik 650 setup and a 200 grain masai broadhead blew straight through the entrance shoulder and exited the left chest of this bull he went 200 yards and piled up.
