My 2016 archery elk

[NINJABABY]

Went out for 4 days on the morning of 25th and setup the camp, I am always alone. On the morning of 26th saw 13 elk and one of them was the big one, there were two spikes too and rest all females. They were in an open area and they were heading to deep bush. I hurried up and went to the bush before them and got waited for them to come to the bush. They were about 40 some yards away from the busy, is when I used mouth reed and got his attention. He turned and gave me a broadside view and that's when I released the arrow at 53 yards. He ran towards the bush about 25 yards and collapsed there. I gave him lots of time and then I walked very slowly towards him....and I realized that Almighty awarded me with the biggest bull I have ever got.

Grande Prairie area

Congrats for sure !!!
High fives Even...still waiting to hear of some of the local archers tagging out on Vancouver Island Elk.
The grass looks very lush and appears to have made your stalk a quiet one .
What Bow and Arrow/Shaft/Broadhead where you using?
Thanks for sharing.

I thought the government was looking into banning any form of spear hunting. (sarcasm)
