Raking Trees for Big Bulls

As Corey said in Tip #5 “An 18 yard, quartering-away shot on a bull that has no idea you are there is something we dream about.” Let’s turn that day dream into a real-life, action-packed elk hunting situation!  In the mid-nineties, I attended one of Randy Ulmer’s seminars on elk hunting.  One of many great [...]
