ARCHERY ELK 2OO8: ELK HUNTING VIDEO/DVD
January 1, 2009
Danny Pareja and Levi McClendon
Danny Pareja and Levi McClendon have been waiting ten years for an Arizona Archery Elk Tag. 2008 turned out to be the lucky year. The spring was wet and the horn growth looked like it would be good, they both hoped for a strong rut. They wanted to be calling bulls in September. They hunted hard for seven days and passed some small bulls but were unable to get on the big bulls they were looking for. The afternoon of the eighth day, the wind was howling and this makes for difficult calling conditions. Then they heard and located a deep sounding bugle. Luck was with them, the whole herd was moving right at them. As the herd moved quickly by them, they saw only glimpses of a bull with no shot opportunities. Levi finally spotted the bull moving away and behind a cedar, he whispered to Danny that he was a shooter. The bull was blocked by the tree but as he moved, Levi called and the bull turned broadside. Danny had a difficult sixty yard shot opportunity through a small opening . He made a great shot on the bull and they filmed the whole scene. The bull is a whopper. Congratulations to Danny Pareja….. great first bull. Levi never saw a bull he wanted and he went home with out a bull, he is going to have to wait awhile for another one of those lucky permits.
