We hunted this bull for 6 days, had him within range multiple times and even at full draw once. But as big bulls seem to do he always turned wrong, walked behind a tree or had one of his ladies step in front at the wrong time. Another hunter put an arrow in him on day 8 but unfortunately was unable to recover him 😔 hopefully he bedded up and toughed it out #bigbull #elkhunting #cedardonkey #splittineoutfitters
The bulls have been rounding up their ladies for a couple weeks now and Friday can’t come soon enough! #elkseason #buglingbulls #toppinrange #splittineoutfitters #huntavid #hunt_az
Antelope are so much fun to watch! Can’t wait to spend more time this weekend in the heat #pronghorn #heatwaves #swarovskioptik #splittineoutfitters
Really wish I’d taken some more video of this buck. But we figured it was better to try and kill him instead 🤷♂️ #arrowdodgingsob #mostlyjaysfault #splittineoutfitters #huntavid #hunt_az
Little late season action for #superbullsunday! Cant wait to see what turns up in the canyons this year 🤟 #elkseasonisthebestseason #splittineoutfitters #huntavid #hunt_az
I’ve realized I laugh and say something stupid every time someone shoots something with a firearm. 497 yards with a stiff crosswind was nothing for my pops and his 6.5 creedmoor. @outdoorsmans turret and digiscoping adaptor worked flawlessly as always. #splittineoutfitters #dumpedhim #outdoorsmans #coues #huntavid #hunt_az
This bull wasn’t very photogenic, but he did light off a couple bugles for us while we tried to turn up the bear rummaging around underneath us. #elkseason2018 is almost here! #whynotopend #itsfinallyseptember #huntavid #hunt_az
After a nice afternoon shower we were able to glass up a couple bears last night . This #bigboar killed a coues deer in front of us and was eating it when @senor_cardo sent the first round. As you can see his curious nature was a bad decision. The #outdoorsmans phone adaptor made for some great video. PS-Don’t judge the laugh at the end, it was a long day @outdoorsmans @huntavid @hunt_az
Really wish this buck had showed up earlier in the hunt as he was one of only 5 bucks that wasn't broken into a billion pieces. Good thing he'll be there for next season! #bigbuck #mdf #huntavid #hunt_az #outdoorsmans #swarovskioptik
Hoping to add a #vaportrail to tomorrow's video #tictoc #stayputporfavor #bulls_deep
The bucks were out cruising today looking for the ladies
We were fortunate enough to have enough time to get Don's shot on film through the #phoneskope. He put the smack down on this buck at just over 350 at an extreme angle uphill.
It's always nice to get a back scratch but it sure helps when you have long beams!
