If your season is going like mine, then you’re up to your elbows in meat processing. I was fortunate to kill a mule deer doe late in the archery season and I just killed my first elk, a cow, last week. In less than three weeks my freezer is overflowing.

Bullets have evolved considerably since their first use from homogenous pure lead to homogenous copper and brass.

A once-in-a-lifetime bull elk gives a split-second opportunity for a risky shot. He’s running broadside through medium-thick old growth Quaking Aspen timber at roughly 60 yards. Do you take the shot?
It was great to take such a unique bull in conditions that do not provide many opportunities for success, using a technique that is so high risk.

Your site inventory has provided you with wind direction, sunrise and sunset, water levels and proximity to the decoy spread. If you have done your homework this is your time to get the blind in while it is dry and more importantly so you can blend it in, in the late summer and fall to conceal as best as possible.
