Wendy Lacoss-Drake Takes Her First Bow Elk

I’d been hunting elk for 4 years with my bow. I had decided that I wanted to take an elk with my bow. Taking an elk with a gun never crossed my mind. I didn’t mind seeing elk that I could have taken with a gun. But for me, the challenge was to take an elk the way I wanted to take him – with my bow.

Wendy Lacoss-Drake on Taking Her Himalaya Whitetail Buck Deer

“There's a big white-tailed buck out in the field in front of the cabin, so take my Himalaya and go shoot him,” Ken told me. I took his Himalaya, propped up against one of the posts on the cabin and made the shot. The buck walked about 40 yards and fell over.

My First Whitetail Buck Deer with Wendy Lacoss-Drake

30 Years of Mossy Oak: Gary Roberson
