Here is a picture of Todd with his 6x6 bull elk. DIY back country archery elk hunt with success. A dream of Todd's for over 5 years and all the hard work finally paid off. Over 80 miles hiked in the last 3 week and lots of Mountain House meals eaten, this elk season has come to an end!
Bull taken at 21 yards.
Thanks to Pete Forster for all the help getting it done this year and for getting to experience this hunt with Todd. Mules and good friends are amazing!
Double lung shot, bull went about 100 yards.
Todd after his approximately 9 mile hike out of the back country with his bull. I have never seen him so happy!
With camp at 10,500 feet the weather can make for some interesting stuff in September. This was a hail storm that only lasted for a brief moment.
Meat and Head at camp, getting ready to load it all up and head back to the trail head.
Todd and Jeff talking and looking over the bull at the trail head. Jeff and I met Todd and Pete at the trail head to pick up the elk to take it home. Lots of good meat for this year for sure!
It has been great getting to hunt with my husband and make such good memories.
Another dream of Todd's is to make it into the Pope and Young bow hunting record books. 60 days of dry down time is needed before it can be officially scored.
