Round 2 of screaming bulls
El Destructo:
Keenan.....sounds like you had one Awesome Time.....I envy you the Chance to just be out there for a Month in that Terrain...with those Majestic Beasts....one of these Days I will pack it all up ....and get out of this Desert!!!
Hey Hawk..that ain't that Fantastic Bow that you just had made for you is it??? Man that would suck to have one that close...and have a Material or Workmanship Failure....man I Feel for you....there is always next year though..........and I am Invited too??? Heck I'll even Gut Your Kill .....and Pack it out!!!!
;) >:D
Keenan:
Wow Hawk, if you play this write you could probably get coffee, bacon and eggs with out even having to get out of the sleeping bag ;D Maybe even someone to carry your gear and a camera to film the whole thing ;D ;D ;D sorry couldn't resist.
just being a rebel rouser ;D Help is always good to have with elk hunting. I've been really blessed to have some good friends that are always eager to help. Having an elk on the ground is like processing a dead horse. You don't just drag it to the truck and throw it in. Just packing out quarters can be like packing a whole deer,,,, times 4. Somehow they always seem to go right to the bottom of the nastiest blowdown or drainage around.
My very first was a 6x6 bull when I was 16 years old. SnakeRiver unit ,,,,,,,,mile deep, mile wide canyons......dropped right in the bottom of the canyon below camp. Camp was on the ridge ::) ::) ::)Quartered it and hung it in trees just out of reach from the bears. Took me three days with a horse to get it all up to camp. Narrow switchback trails and so steep I had to go clear up to the head of the canyon to work the horse all the way down to it. Swore I would never do that again....... ::) ::) ::) famous last words.
If you do get an elk down and others are there to help, don't forget to reward they with some of the meat. They will have earned it. ;)
Keenan:
Hear are a few more pics from the hunt.
The first is the wallow in the story. then a few other wallows.
Next Tony is still in awe after hearing his first real bugling bull in the wild that morning so I'm helping him relive the experience ;D
Then the last pic is my life partner and love of my life all tuckered out sleeping by a stream running through the meadow.

D. Tiller:
Wowser! Now that is some nice country Keenan.
Hawk let me know when your ready to go next year and I will be sitting on your door step bow in hand and obsidian tipped arrows ready to go! You show me what to do and I will be the best student you will ever have when it comes to learning the Elk hunting trade. MMMM!!! Elk....its whats for dinner!!! ;D
hawkbow:
Tiller, I live for elk hunting, every year the bugles in the hugh lands transform me into a rut crazed bull myself... this time next year if you find youself rubbing your head on the bedpost and rolling in urine soaked mud while bugling obscene challenges at the neighbors.. then and only then are you truly ready to hunt elk ;D ;)
el destructo... No builder error with the bow... was the finest bow I have ever shot... shot a squirrel from a tree and a grouse in the air the first day i had her... looks like the glue failed on the boo backing probably because our temperatures went from freezing in the am to eighty in the day and back to freezing in evening combined with rainy weather and then dry for days... I would never consider blaming Mac for the failure... his bows are top notch and his craftsmenship is second to none...HAWK
