This was Paul's estatic response to shooting his first elk with a bow. He has about a 98% success rate with a rifle, but hunting with a bow is SO much harder requireing many hours of practice. You have to get very close without the elk hearing, seeing or smelling you which requires much stealth and patience. This beautiful 5X5, (refuring to the antler points), was tagged up Snake River Canyon Saturday evening. Paul and Corby had taken the tent and gear up in prep for the rifle hunt that begins on Tuesday. They had time to scout around for elk and Paul was lucky enough to call in this magestic bull. Corby was essential in that he called as well. Corby took this great picture.
