    Congrats to the whitetail slayers!

    We took a break from the elk to try and call in a yote. We saw a coyote in this area twice before. Coyote sightings are kind of rare out here compared to back east because we have a $50.00 bounty on them.

    Took all of 15 minutes for her to come in, but come in she did. John got a bead on her before I did.[​IMG]

    I just missed a Turkey at 20 yards. It would have been my first ever. Pretty sure I dropped my bow arm :(

    Yes, it had surprisingly thick and silky fur for a summer dog. Living at 7500' might have something to do with it. The belly is pretty bare tho'. It will be tanned anyhow. I need the practice.

    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. :)
