Wow, this Saturday is the opener for my Utah LE Elk archery hunt.
I have been going hard since Feb shooting the bow, building and testing various arrows, updating specific gear,etc.
I have replaced the insert on my Rhinehart 2 times already, and that means I am on # 3 for the year. Been shooting an average of 50-75 arrows a day.
I have started a Journal on the adventure trying to document the journey so I can look back and remember it, hopefully with fondness. This, due to my age is most likely my "Once in a Lifetime Elk Hunt" in the Utah, Beaver Mountain area. I keep telling myself to enjoy every part of this blessing.
My dad was suppose to come out from Wisc when I thought I was doing an OTC Spike Elk hunt, but then he had a heart attack, and had to cancel, and soon after I found out I drew the LE tag. I am a solo hunter so I have some challenges others wont.
- Dad is ok by the way.
After these changes I went into fast track mode on a whole new focus....
I never knew how much pressure went along with drawing a tag like this.
-Things like, what is too small of a bull
-When do I settle and take a decent but not big bull
-What if I don't tag out on this chance
-Will I be shaking if the big guy comes in
Fortunately there are some decent bulls in the area I am familiar with this year so I am pretty stoked to get out there.
My base camp is already set,, scouting has revealed both new things and confirmed old things.
I want to wish everyone a favorable year of hunting and hope you all enjoy the process
Here are my #1,2,3 if all things go well.
