Archery Elk 2008
December 19, 2008
Mike Whelan, Travis Whelan and Brad Parker hunting from one elk camp. We were calling a bull early on opening morning and when he came in, Brad took his first shot at a bull elk. The shot looked good and we had it on film. The bull was a 6×6 and it seemed that opening morning couldn’t have started better for Brad. It took us all day to recover his bull. We should have known we had been snake bite, it would be 14 days before we would shoot at another bull. For a year in which we saw an enormous amount of good bulls, we had a fairly tough hunt. I was able to take and film a nice 6×6 on a trick tank the evening before the last day of the hunt. We called and followed bulls almost every morning but rarely were we able to get them to where we had a good shot opportunity, and it seemed when we did get them close, we couldn’t film them. Travis filmed and passed a number of nice bulls and went home empty. He even passed a pretty nice bull the last night of the hunt. 08 had turned out to be a tough hunt for him. These hunts will be in our 2009 elk DVD.
