Went out on Tuesday. Got to my tree around noon. It was hot, 90+ degrees but I hoped that would bring the elk into the waterhole.

I was frying in the stand, thinking I was nuts. Then at 2pm I heard a cow chirp. Then a really pathetic bugle. Then more chirps. A cow and a calf appeared in the thick brush 40 yards away. No shot. They disappeared while a big calf trotted to the waterhole. I hoped the calf would make it over to me. Instead a big cow popped out of the brush. I drew. She angled toward me and stopped at 12 yards. Because she was slightly quartering to me, I put the pin tight to her shoulder and hit the trigger.

The arrow sunk almost to the feathers right where I wanted it. (Hey, I'm a good shot at 12 yards.. lol)

She ran about 40 yards. Stopped and looked around, then fell/crashed back down the hill toward me. She ended up 27 yards from my stand. Not bad for 43 pounds of draw weight. I used a 125 gr old style 3 blade muzzy head.

I didn't get good pictures. I tied my phone to a tree and used the timer. That's a challenge.

I called my husband, and also my hunting buddy John for packout help. I cut her up while I waited for them.
We are all very sore now.

Taking it to a processor or DIY? If the latter, I suspect that's gonna take a good day or two...so the mule deer have a chance to get out of town

Congrats!

So far nothing but birds and a chipmunk.

Christine · Sep 6, 2017

I do all the processing.. so between the elk and a garden full of beans and cucumbers. The deer are safe for the moment.

Did you have your pink shoes on?!!! Great job girl!

Christine · Sep 6, 2017

Yes to the shoes. Those are probably some of the most abused $20 Costco specials out there.
