In this elk hunting episode by Gila Monster Outdoors, you will get to see Nick on his first archery hunt. This hunt immediately followed Gaven’s elk hunt which meant Nick was going to be by himself for most of the hunt. After months of scouting and with the help of prior knowledge from the team, they had some good areas marked for success.
Nick was able to get close to multiple bulls throughout the hunt. Most of them, however, did not give him an opportunity for a clean shot. After being joined by Gaven, they were able to get into a good setup and get a shot on a bull. Sadly, it was a shoulder shot that the bull thankfully survived from.
After covering miles of forest land, they decided the bull was okay. There was not a good enough blood trail to follow, and the bull had hopped multiple fences. The uneasy feeling of shouldering a bull made them second guess going after another bull but in the end, they were not able to put one down.
There was a lot of experience and knowledge gained on this hunt by both Nick and Gaven. The new area that was hunted provides points to chase elk again in the future. Although they did not punch Nick’s tag, they had a blast chasing elk in the backcountry!
Hunting elk in New Mexico can be a tough ordeal. We are blessed to have the opportunity to go out in the mountains and chase after these wonderful creatures. It is not always about the animals you tag out, sometimes it is about the memories you make with your hunting partners that last a lifetime!
