AZ ELK 2008: ELK HUNTING VIDEO/DVD
January 5, 2009
Glenn Heard and Travis McClendon
Glenn Heard finally drew his coveted early muzzle load elk tag in Arizona.
Glenn booked his hunt through Mick Chappell, who contacted me ( Travis McClendon) with hopes that I could guide Glenn in Eastern Arizona. I haven’t guided much in this part of the state but I quickly said yes when I found out it was an early muzzle load hunt. After checking on some tips from a friend of mine, who had an archery tag just days before this in the same unit, I met with Glenn at the hotel and soon. Early the next morning we found ourselves in the middle of bugling bulls and we were able to get very close to 9 different bulls but none that would crack the 350+ mark. That evening we returned to the same area in hopes of finding one to harvest. Before we even stopped the truck, we were in elk and spotted a big 6×6. Glen said “I’ll shoot that one right now!”. We followed close behind for about a mile but the bull never gave us a shot. With his 20 plus cows always in the way, I didn’t think it was going to happen. Right before dark, I cow called and stopped him broadside in an opening 170 yards away. Glenn with a solid rest on a pine tree pulled the trigger. The primer fired and a second later the powder lit. Kudos to Glenn for making a great shot, the bull stumbled 10 yards and fell to the ground. We scored the bull right at 365″ making this a very fast but Awesome hunt.
