[QUOTE="Huntnful, post: 2622071, member: 116563"] Thanks dudes!!!!!! I feel like a real bow hunter now 😅😅. I did totally spot and stalk, so no calling for either bull. The NM bull was on evening of opening day. He was with about 8-10 and I got about 100 yards out in front of them in the direction they were feeding. They fed right into me and I was just about surrounded by cows before the bull finally came into view bringing in the rear of the group. I could barely get a range on him without getting busted. Ended up being a 51 yard shot on that bull. Got an entrance and an exit but he snapped my arrow when he went to bolt off (21” of penetration). The Utah bull happened on day 8 and was freaking epic. Bulls fighting and bugling everywhere. Four mature bulls within 150 yards of me all screaming their heads of. I just snuck in and got in the middle of them. My bull ended up bedding solo, down in the bottom of this drainage and I could see him from up on top. Pretty sure he wore out from all the fighting. I snuck into 68 yards of him and waited him out. About 10 minutes later another bull came over the hill and started a bugle battle with him that got him up out of his bed. They screamed back and forth while I waited for the right time to draw. Eventually he started raking his antlers in the brush and I drew back and double lunged him with a full pass through at 68 yards. He only made it 14 yards and died right there in front of me. That was the most epic morning on elk hunting you could ask for! [/QUOTE]
