DIY Archery double... have you done it?

I'm hoping to hear from some guys who have arrowed an elk and a deer from the same unit, same season. Tell us your story and include some photos!

Yes, our group has done it many times. Big time overlap where we hunt so it’s not really a hard thing to do, and killing one doesn’t consume much time in terms of packing. If your solo back pack hunting, way different story.

Yes, a few times but usually bowhunted whitetails rather than mule deer if I had a WT draw in November and bowhunted elk in August/Sept. Different parts of the state.

Yes i snuck up on a mule deer and shot it at 25yds then 2 seconds later an elk bugled. I went about 100 yds bugled and it came in and I shot the bull at 32yds. It had been only 9 minutes from when I shot the deer. This was in the evening. My buddy’s moose season started the next morning. We didn’t get back to camp and bed until 3:00am. Also another buddy loaned me a game cart he made and the dang axle broke with two elk quarters. I had to walk about 1.25 miles back to get the pack frames. This was in WY 1994 first time I ever hunted the place.
