[QUOTE="Red Sparky, post: 989160, member: 37223"] What a rush! First year bow hunting and the rush is still with me. Did not get an elk but was amazing. Had a bobcat walk by at 5 yards and never know I was there. Called a cow into 20 yards at sunrise but had a Blue Spruce between me and her for a 15 minute stand off and she never knew what I was. Sat in a herd of feeding elk for an hour with a yearling coming in 30 yards behind me and the rest of the herd 60-100 yards away. Had 3 cows come into a water tank at 60 yards and kept looking east while I was SE with the wind in my face. They spooked and 20 minutes later had a black bear come into the water 40 yards away. Had 10 mule deer, 3 bucks, 35 yards away for about 20 minutes until they busted me. The only animals that did the whole trip. Watched 3 coyotes for an hour from 10-50 yards. Wasn't going to shoot a $10 broad head and $10 Carbon Express when I can go back in with my .17 HMR. So I have a year of shooting to keep me occupied and hopefully the draw will be good to me next year. Can only cross my fingers and hope. [/QUOTE]
