Got my first elk!
I went up north on my first ever elk hunt and much to my surprise I called a bull in to 14 yards on the second morning of the hunt. I went out the evening before to a good elk trail and hung scent rags all over and did a little cow calling. The next morning before light while we were having a coffee at camp I heard a bugle from the same area as my scent rags. I snuck in there quietly and gave a cow call and immediately the bull responded with a deep bugle. A few more hot cow calls and within 5 minutes he was stepping out into the open at 14 yards. My tru-fire switchblade broadhead did quick work of him and he piled up 50 yards away. My best hunt yet by far.

Congrats hope to be in your shoes in a couple days myself!!!
You have been spoiled its not always gonna be that easy.
I have missed one bull big 6x6 a few years back (distance judgment error) other than that never been close with a bow.
Although when a rifle is on my shoulder they seem to get into 20 yards.
Curious when this was?

Was it your first year hunting for elk?? Or have you tried in past years?

Congrats on your awesome first bull!
