Blame Ed
It all began on a cold winter day, when a call came in from Ed
He seemed so intent on telling me things, so I listened to what he said

Ed talked of big bucks and of big bulls, and how our hunt should go
I didn't have the heart to say, I don't even have a bow

He said you need an archery stamp, just go online to apply
So I thought, oh well, what the heck, the least I could do is try

The weeks went by and what do you know, I made the lucky draw
I knew right then that it was time to give ole Ed a call

Good, he said, your all set up, September's when you go
but still there was that one thing, I didn't have a bow

In June I finally bought a bow and much to my surprise
I could really shoot that thing, and make the arrows fly

The trouble was - it's where they went - I hit both trees and fence
My wife said you would put that thing away if you had any sense

But I kept on because of Ed, thinking dag nabit, why'd he call
there is just no way that I can hit a big bull elk this fall

As time went by, I did progress and then when my time came
I released three arrows and one hit where I had aimed

Now here I am with my big bull, that came in like a tank
and thinking, hey, now don't blame Ed, it's him you need to thank

Bev and Ed
I had a great time.  Thanks so much.  Jon C.

 Amazing Archery Elk Hunt

It was late September - warm days and cool evenings.  My partner, Roger Billingsley, and I were out archery elk hunting.  Little did I know, I was about to harvest the trophy of a lifetime - one that only a few would ever be able to witness.

We were in our north pasture about a mile from the lodge just a half hour before sundown.  Knowing there was a spring over the next ridge, we dropped down into the forest to check for any sign of elk near the natural watering area.  As we turned to head back to our vehicle, Roger spotted two cow and calf elk going into the timber.  The elk were already in rut so we knew that there was a good chance there might be a bull nearby.  Then, just off to the right, in the bottom of Indian Creek just 200 yards away was a bull elk.  Cautiously we watched and did some cow calling, approaching to within 50 yards of the bull.  We then saw a sight we surely did not expect.  The bull elks horns were locked with another bull elk.  The two had been fighting for breeding rights and one had been killed in the fight.  However, the horns had locked together, making it impossible for the second bull elk to free himself of the ruins.  We approached within 15-20 yards and I was able to shoot the live bull.  

We loaded both the elk and were able to have a taxidermist prepare a mount depicting how they were found.  The mount will be displayed in Cody, WY.
