Hmmm...embarrassing. 0 for 2 solo archery hunts in Idaho OTC. 12-14 days spike camps up at 8,000ft.
Into elk both times, nice 5x5 and a 6x6, both btwn 25 and 30 yards but the shot never materialized.
Hoping 3rd year (this year) breaks the streak...first elk (spike/doe/6x7) is getting my best shot!
Tough learning curve, from hunting mulies in S. California manzanita (8 in 7 years) but who said you can't teach a 56 year old dog new tricks!
