Great bull.!! Looks like a beautiful area as well... did the cape hold okay.? Hard to call it when you have to leave em overnight. Capes can be finnicky.! Thanks for sharing.!
@@desertantler Yea man dark antlered elk and deer are just beautiful and it gives them that extra character that you don’t get to see often in antlers animals. I just killed a nice 7x7 on 9/7/21 here in New Mexico on the 1st archery elk hunt.
Nice work. My Son, Utah Res, is primarily a archery hunter BUT didn't tag out early and he has a limited tag as well and will use the click bang method to Hopefully notch a tag. Whatever it takes to get it done. Young legs prevail in those hills.
Nice job getting that old guy on such a big bull. That's what I'd expect with that kind of tag. I've never used a guide, but if I did, I'd damn sure tip more than $50 for an experience like that. Strong work.
@@desertantler It should have been about 20x's + that! Back in 2000 my bud guided in ID was paid $100 a day and when very successful tips of 300+ and for you to make 2-3 trips plus all the running around... needs to be at least a $1000 tip for a bull like that! I wouldn't walk down that hill much less climb it! Especially in the mud! Koodos to ya'll!!! And hopefully good people will see this and ya'll will be rewarded down the road! I have a saying time heels all wounds and time wounds all heals! Glad he took care of you!
You're goated man. And you did it keeping the flow, my hair was out a little longer but she's all gone now for season lol thinking about a off season mullet
Shit, that first bull would have ended up in my freezer. I've been hunting Elk for along time, one thing you don't do is pass up Elk for other Elk. Are we hunting for food or are we hunting for antlers? Smh btw you need to cut that damn hippie hair
That first bull was Friday night, before the opener. And Ryan’s tag wasn’t just any tag, limited entry units in Utah, you shoot the bigger bull. Come over here and make me 💇♂️ your a real tough keyboard warrior
@@absolutearcherycenterrange573 I would assume everyone hunts because they enjoy it. That's kind of a no brainer. But if you pass up a legal bull in hopes of getting a bigger set of antlers your not really hunting for meat. Alot of people who pass on that first bull or buck go home empty handed.
