Good use of a "sick day".
Makes a guy want to just quit working and hunt all the time when it works out like that. I love the ones that battle. How was the fat reserve?

Very healthy. Lots of weight on. 675lbs on hooks at butcher w skin and head and legs gone.
Had to wash my hunting gloves twice to get the **** smell off tho. First and last time using gloves to gut an elk. Yikes.

2015 so far
I'll play this game! Loved looking through everyone's pics from this season so far. Some awesome memories backing those pictures, I'm sure! Congrats to everyone that has been successful so far!
I shot the Elk September 17 and the whitetail October 21.

2015 elk bowhunting
The hunting buddy and I had a new first for elk hunting. We pulled a double header, he got his bull in the morning and I got lucky on the evening hunt. The morning started out with an answer when we got into one of our lick areas, that encounter was over real quick as the bull came in on a rope. Got caught in a thick, nasty area and got busted. We followed his tracks for a bit and ended up in stand of spruce with good visibility, things had been quiet for a while. I gave a bugle and got an answer not 100 yards away, I bolted out of the bluff and out of sight. The buddy, his 11 year old son, and 2 other hunting friends all hunkered together as they had already been spotted by a cow. The cow came to my calls and the bull snuck in cautiously behind her. The buddy stopped the bull in a small opening, pegged him perfect at 38 yards quartering away, a tough shot from his knees with everyone else around. Bull went 100 yards and piled up. Great thing was his son got see all the action up close and personal. He was totally pumped!
2015 brad elk 1.jpg
Got the bull out of the bush, done up and into my cooler by 3:00. Headed back to camp for a couple of rums to celebrate the success, late lunch, a quick nap and we head back into the bush at 7:00.
30 minutes in we get an answer from across a creek, we boot it thru the creek as we know them buggers will not cross and come up a bank! He is answering the cow calls steady! Find a spot off a game trail and get setup next to a big poplar bluff. Turn on my Kodak playsport camera mounted on my bow and get ready for the action. I hear the bull walking on the other side of a thick stand of willows, draw my bow and hope he will walk thru. The bull bugles not 20 yards from me. 20 seconds later he steps thru the willows and stops 12 yards from me, totally zoned in on my buddy’s cow calls. He bugles looking right at me. Wow, what a rush! No shot as he is quartering hard to me. I have been drawn for over a minute and the arms and legs are starting to vibrate from the adrenaline. For some reason, the bull turns his head back hard and looks away opening up his front shoulder. Put my pin right up his leg and let fly. Arrow buries right to the fletching, can see the nocturnal nock in the perfect spot. He spins and bolts away. He went about 75 yards and piled up.

My most amazing hunt to date, have never had them bugle that close to me.
Big high fives on a heck of a day of elk hunting.

Just curious, how do you use Judos for coyotes? I've never used them but I understand they are blunt and mostly used for small game like birds and rabbit. Just thought it would be hard to get a head shot on a yote.

Take the fur off a yote and its not much bigger than a jack rabbit..also thin hide...normal double lung shot is deadly...rips a four blade hole thru both lungs...have shot many with a judo...one spun and didnt go no where but in a circle and done in seconds...
Shot two with Judo's this year

I'm a noob (clearly) but why not use a broadhead or fieldpoint then? Easier to find an arrow with judos?

There is that chance arrow can be lost or damaged...arrow/ broadhead approx $50.00 verse arrow Judo $25.00...always have Judo in quiver and shoot it alot in the field for practise..and know its deadly at close range....
...Wouldnt use field point...doesnt do enough vital damage...
At longer distances will use broadhead...
However seen yote expire quicker with Judo than broadhead so why not if proper broadside shot is presented....

I lost a ton of BH's shooting coyotes and like Neil said the judo kill coyotes quicker. I wouldn't dare shoot a wolf with a judo but a coyote I classify as small game. Judos usually drop coyotes pretty quick and with broadheads I've tracked em 200 yards.
Plus I don't want to loose $50 arrows.
