2007 elk hunt

This is Amit and I in Western Montana on the last day of the 2007 elk season (our first elk season). The video makes the whole thing look pretty easy, but this is not the case. After hiking close to 100 miles and spending 70+ hours tromping through elk country we did manage to score on a decent bull. Little did we know that the hunting was the easy part! The video also makes the distance I was shooting at the elk much greater than it actually was. The shots (there were 4) were around 200 yards. Two connected, one in the liver and one in a lung and it died very quickly. Thanks to Anne and Brooke for sacrificing their bodies and 6 hours of their Sunday to drag that elk 1 mile. It was incredibly brutal, but well worth it. I can’t stop thinking about the whole experience and am eagerly awaiting my chance to try again next year! Finally, thanks to the elk who made the ultimate sacrifice to bring us this video and a whole years supply of delicious meat.
