yesterday was day 1 for me. I usually hunt solo but decided to hunt with my buddy to try and get him one. Riding in on bikes we got busted by a bull and 3 cows. We gave them some time and went in and called, no results. Later in the day we got in on 3 cows, no bulls around.
On a last ditch effort before dark, I decided to go check a small clear cut. We got there and it appeared to be no elk but, I glassed a cows face. Glassed right and found a bulls head facing away, a 5x5. My buddy had left his bow on his bike expecting that maybe I get a chance since I had called for him all day but, I said "you shot my bow at the range, go kill him".
We were 105yds when he started his stalk. I watched from my stump. He got about 60yds in my eyes from the bull and the bull stood up looking for him. I cow called and got his attention. My buddy was in a hole and the bull couldn't see down below. As my buddy approached a little more, I deployed my elk decoy and cow called. The bull was torn on where to look. In the end, the bull and cows left scene unharmed. My friend was 51yds and had a small branch in the way of his quartering away shot, so he passed. At 8:40pm I received a msg with another guys stating he killed a bull where I showed him to hunt 2yrs ago and needed help. I drove over, hiked in with another guy to see he killed a descent 5x5, his first elk. They had already began quartering the bull when we got there so, knowing I was getting up again at 5am, I loaded a qtr and hiked out solo. Got home and in bed at 12:30... Fun 1st day I guess, other than my legs are sore.

I always enjoy your annual archery hunt thread.
