An archery elk hunt that was worth the wait

Featured, Features, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, New York /

Running into the depths of a box canyon, I figured I could cut off the screaming bull in a saddle between two ridges on the opposite side of it.
Nearing the top, I heard him cut loose again. As I crested the hill, I knew I had only minutes left to cover the ground before he would pass through the saddle and disappear into the heavy timber, where he would lie the rest of the day.

Featured, Features, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, New York /

Dark? You think you know dark? Dark is when you are waiting for your guide to pick you up; listening to the late summer/early fall night sounds when suddenly bait pile logs get knocked ‘cattywhumpus’, well, ‘bearywhumpus’ is more like it, and you’re in a ground blind, not far enough away.
When the bear sounds like a really big bear? Now that, is dark!
