Bow hunt rutting elk in September with Dan Pickar on this episode of Beyond the Grid by Eastmans'. Dan is joined by his brother and good friend for an incredible experience hunting the rut. The strategy is to post up and wait over a waterhole, but it's hard to catch a nap when the elk won't quit talking!

Very nice!! I had similar experience on public -5.5 hours of bugling, cow calls, constant elk. I passed 13 5x5’s, 2 6x6’s before choice #2 came thru. I knew i would Never hear the end of it if i passed that much and a 7 x 7 and did not get my #1. First my wife would have elbowed me then passed it along to all. So congratulations. I only wished i could sat all day listening to it way out there

Not much penetration, that happens sometimes with a lightweight arrow setup or maybe it hit some bone.?But a wonderful blood trail and a terrific bull👍🏻

@tristanmack5779 10 ай бұрын

Man watching this gets me so jacked for hunting season coming up!! Great bull and film! I held my breath watching that arrow arc through the air for so long 😆 haha glad you recovered him. Its tough when it's hot out and you dont want the meat to spoil but I've learned over the years that theres no such thing as giving animals too much time on a marginal archery shot.

@EastmansHuntingJournals 10 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching! Bowhunting is a game of inches! Yep tried to be as cautious as possible not wanting the meat to spoil and it payed off. -Dan

@1UofACat12 10 ай бұрын

That looked like an awfully long shot... "Kentucky Windage?" Great private land bull on a very lucky shot, an inch away from a lost/wounded animal. Dude, IMHO you shoot at animals too far away. That said congratulations on a great animal! I am glad it worked out & you recovered the bull. You may want to reconsider using expandable broadheads on elk though, great equipment for poor penetration on less than perfectly placed broadside shots. Unfortunately you probably feel it gave you this bull so you’ll probably keep using them. BTW, the bull was giving you a "nervous grunt" at the 18min mark. This means he wanted to see the elk he was hearing, he wasn't "barking" at you. If he was he'd have run off, but he didn’t, only walked away still giving you the same call. You probably could have called him in with the right sequence, not just using general cow sounds.

@EastmansHuntingJournals 10 ай бұрын

It was just about 60 yards. I shoot bulls at all distances within 70 yds. If you like close encounters like I prefer, watch this video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n79yp6V7t9qxZ30.html I've shot 14 bulls with that same broadhead and most die within eyesight and I have never lost one that I hit in the body cavity. I did hit a bull in the shoulder in 2017 and didn't recover him but he wasn't mortally hit. That shot was 22 yds. Oops. Like any broadhead, sometimes you get pass throughs sometimes you don't. Lastly, at the 18 min mark, I call that a bark and most resources out there would also refer that to a bark, when he repeats it multiple times. But yes it is a "show yourself" call. I didn't have enough cover so I opted to not educate the bull any more than I had too and kept quiet. I made just a couple lost calf calls during the beginning of the encounter and then stayed quiet for 20 mins until he stepped out of the timber barking. He was a very cautious bull. Could I have called him in with another style of calling? Maybe, but he didn't give me much to work with. -Dan

Hey everyone we got a veteran educator over here! This type of scenario is what separates the men from the boys. If you don't like 60 or 70 yard shots than don't take them.
