[...] The country we are hunting is some of the best in the state of Idaho for elk with open sage and lots of timber patches. After a half hour of moving in we set up for the call. Cory put me out a hundred yards in front and started calling. Cory is modest but you can see why he won the Idaho state bugle contest in 2006. The bull answered but was either lazy or not interested in coming in. We began slowly moving up the mountain through the deep timber calling. Soon we knew we had his attention and the bull was on the move. I knew Cory was close because I could here his calls but what I didn’t know was that he had a shot opportunity if the bull wasn’t behind a tree. After range finding where I thought the bull would come out there he was. The bull moved down the mountian and was at 50 yards. I was at full draw but he was looking head on at me. My arm started shaking and I had to ease of the pull with the bull looking right at me. He obviuosly didn’t see me or was more interested in the calls coming from Cory and he stepped five yards closer and turned broadside. I let the arrow fly and could see it was on course but wasn’t sure if I had hit him. After seeing the bull turn and run I cow called and moved in. Cory was there and confirmed he was hit good. Talk about overwhelming emotions after all these years and adversity to finally know you have your first bull with bow. We sat and waited for a half an hour and would have gone after him sooner with all my excitment but Cory was there to calm down and make us wait. We followed the blood trail and found my elk 200 yards up the mountain. Here where it gets amazing. After finding my bull I spotted a cow elk 20 yards away and started cow calling and yelled to Cory. He moved up towards me and with in minutes I heard him release his arrow and he too had his elk down all before 9:00am. As we both sat there in amazement of what we just accomplished we looked at each other knowing that the work has just begun. Two elk down on a mountian. Cory showed me how to eskimo dress the elk which we did and by 4:00 in the afternoon we had our elk back to camp. My thanks goes out to Cory for calling in my first bull and helping my achieve a dream and goal of mine since I was a young kid. [...]
