The Ups and Downs of Archery Elk Hunting and Nancy’s Biggest Bull Part:1

Show Notes 31:The Ups and Downs of Archery Elk Hunting and Nancy’s Biggest Bull Part:1Locations: WyomingSince becoming a Wyoming resident and marrying Nancy over 5 years ago, we have been pursuing elk. They are a magnificent animal and superb table fare. Nancy was skeptical when I went archery hunting for elk the first year and came home with a cow elk later that evening. She was shocked. She started shooting archery and soon was chasing elk with her bow. Following breast cancer, she struggled to get her draw weight back up to the needed poundage so has been pursuing elk with a crossbow these last few years. Many missed opportunities and frustrations later, Nancy tagged her very first elk. The following year we put in for a limited entry unit in Wyoming and drew out. 2020 was a crazy year all around but Nancy her biggest bull elk to date and it was an experience neither of us will ever forget! Archery elk hunting is not what you see on social media and YouTube. There are days when nothing comes together, or you do not make good decisions and mess up your chance. Always remember that the worst hunt can become the best in just 5 seconds. Keep at it, stay positive, and sometimes everything comes together. The pursuit is exciting, the pack out and butchering is pure work, and the meals and memories are exquisite. Get out there and live your stories!!If you are enjoying the stories and the podcast, I would really appreciate a 5 star review and please subscribe so you don’t miss an episode. I would love to connect with you all at Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube! Original episode artwork created by Scott Simkins.Music Courtesy of Plum Stickie and used with Permission:Audley Crazy; Written by Plum Stickie; Performed by Plum Stickie Support the show
