Idaho Archery Elk Hunt
Hunter: Jay Cox
Date: September, 2017
Trip Taken: Idaho Archery Elk Hunt
Consultant: Russ Meyer | OUTDOORS INTERNATIONAL
It finally happened! The bull came charging in bugling and sent a shiver down my spine.
He wasn’t stopping so I buried my 40 yard pin and let the arrow fly. I hit a little high and back but hoped I had caught lung. We waited……. then started tracking and 150 yards later, I laid my hands on an Idaho bull elk.
This has been the most physically and mentally challenging hunt I have ever experienced. The terrain is beautiful yet unforgiving. The weather is completely unpredictable and harsh. We walked miles in cold, wet, and sometimes completely frozen boots at elevations ranging from 6,500 to 9,500 feet. At times my mind and body told me to give up but my heart wouldn’t let me. I kept hiking, kept believing, and kept hunting. In the end, I have experienced an adventure that I will remember forever. The days spent in the Idaho mountains are a constant learning experience that I will cherish forever.
