So, we are in the thick of it now on this elk hunt. In the last episode of Dialed in Diaries you saw me play cat and mouse with a bull. After several attempts, he just kept on avoiding me. Whether it was by his own doing or because of an outside source, like the quail hunters. These things happen in the field and we didn’t get too down about them. That’s bowhunting and it’s all part of the game. To get mad about it, would be doing yourself and the whole experience a disservice. We’re out there to have fun, so petty things like that don’t deserve our energy.

In this episode, I finally catch up to the bull from the last episode. This time, he put himself in a fantastic spot for an approach. It was a 2.5 mile stalk with an hour left of daylight. I ran the whole way in order to get into position on the bull. Watch Episode 6 down below to see how it all shook out.

Enjoy Episode 6 of Dialed in Diaries

Thanks!

I really hope you enjoyed that episode as much as I enjoyed creating it. Sure, this one stung a bit, but it’s always fun looking back at moments like these. They provide learning opportunities, as well as opportunities for clarity. And in foggy times like that, clarity is absolutely needed to find your way through.

Like always, thanks so much for watching and please SUBSCRIBE to the Youtube Channel to stay up to date with future videos! Next up is Archery Deer here in Arizona. One of my all time favorite hunts of the year. Backpack bowhunting for coues deer at its finest. Backpacks were heavy on this one. Stay tuned and stay safe out there!
