Hunting & Fishing The Stars Were.....LINED UP!!!

8 yards?? I don't even understand how you get that close to an animal that size...congratulations, that is one gorgeous animal. I wanted to ask if you happened to know Terry Crooks from Libby, MT? I am not a bow hunter, and don't know anything about these scores people are asking about but I know he holds a record for an elk taken with a bow. I'm sure there are lots of different records so I don't know if his is even in the same category, but several years ago I got to spend a lot of time in the woods with him and I have a lot of respect for folks like him and yourself that can take such amazing trophy animals with something like a recurve bow. Unbelievable...congrats again!
 
HO....LEE.....SHIITE Pat!! What a monster! Well done Sir, and with a recurve no less....congrats!! Can you tell us the story please?
What weight is your bow?

My hat is off to you! I am a life long bowhunter and that is world class bull! Congrats.

Anyone who can even get a 75# recurve to full draw once is much a man in my book! I had a 65# Black Widow for a few years but ended up selling it back to the guy I got it from.

More than I could shoot comfortably.....
 
That is the kind of bull that dreams are made of! A monster in any state and ever better for Montana! Congratulations on the bull of a life time, I was 0 for 5 on drawing tags this year, but there is always hope of chasing bugling bulls with my stick and string again next year. Truly a beautiful bull!
 
Pat,
I just got back from hunting the Throughfare out of Cody WI., first Rifle week, and after hunting 4 days for my bull I can't even imagine how you took that beautiful Elk with a recurve!! That had to be the most gratifying hunt you been on. Congratulations! you must be one hellava hunter.
