When in doubt, hunt grouse! . . . . #deerseason #deerhunting #hunting #bowhunter #bowhunting #muleycrazy #muledeer #wildhartoutdoors #livewild #diyhunting #publicland

Quick sage grouse trip before we head east until the end of archery season. Just a month ago there were sage grouse everywhere, today... nothing, but that’s typical hunting. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Feels great to be back at it! . . . . . #deerseason #deerhunting #hunting #bowhunter #bowhunting #muleycrazy #muledeer #wildhartoutdoors #livewild #diyhunting #publicland #elkhunter #elkhunting #sagegrouse @slumberjackgear

So grateful the good Lord was watching over this young man. He rolled his truck after swerving to miss another car in his lane on a blind corner. God is good! This picture was taken on the first day of his first ever archery elk hunt when @lhartwig808 just barely missed a bull. It was awesome. . . . . . . #elkhunting #elkhunter #itsfinallyseptember #hunting #bowhunter #bowhunting #wildhartoutdoors #livewild #diyhunting #publicland

This girl never ceases to amaze me!!!! What an incredible bull and story @samanthagangler!!! Well done!!! #Repost @samanthagangler ・・・ After spooking this bull 20 minutes earlier Toby let out a bugle, and the bull answered right away. This time Toby set up behind me and I snuck forward a little. Toby started cow calling, raking, and bugling away from the bull. Within minutes I could see horns coming up the hill. He was so cautious constantly looking for the other elk he thought were there. I felt myself getting excited, I had to tell myself to calm down as I ranged distances before his eyes came over the hill top. As I ranged I was shaking, it's so funny how sometimes I am calm when an elk approaches and sometimes I get the "fever" I knew I had to get it together so I kept telling myself "you are in control of the shot, dont let the arrow fly until your ready" At this point he is quartering tword me at 35 yards, there is no brush in the way but it's a bad angle. I know that if I pull to early with a slow cautious bull that I wont be able to hold my bow back long enough, so I wait. I wait as he slowly walks into 25 yards. There is a tree, I drew my bow back as his eyes went behind it. I knew he would still be quartered to me but if he kept the same course on the trail I would have a broadside 10 yard shot. Instead the bull freezes and there I am at full draw, waiting, waiting, shaking, praying, please come out while I have strength left. He didn't step out and I reached a point I had to let down. 5 minutes later the bull steps out changing directions, my mind raced as I tried to remember the yardage from earlier. This time he would again be at 25 when I needed to draw. I drew and he froze with a tree on his vitals. This time staring right at me. I leaned on a tree to give my arm strength. I watched him drool, curl his lips, bugle, pee on himself, etc. I prayed he would move 12 inches. I shook profusely as I waited for him to look away. Finally he turned, and I let down, I remember intentionally trying to lower my heart rate, and 5 minutes later he turned broadside. I drew for a final time, aimed between two branches, leveled, and let it fly.

Well said @krissyhayknox!!! And a HUGE CONGRATS on a beautiful muley! Proud of you sister! #Repost @krissyhayknox ・・・ Here he is, and even though the shadows are horrible, you’re still seeing the most important part of my face! 😁 This harvest means more to me than I can ever put into words. This beautiful and hard-earned muley marks my 10th archery buck, and my 25th archery harvest. I don’t tell you this because the numbers are impressive or important (I know this number is tiny compared to so many hunters out there!). I share this because I always told myself that I wanted every notched tag to be as joyful and exciting as my very first. And you know what, every single one has been! And I’m so grateful to my family, friends, and the good Lord above for making me appreciate hard work, disappointment, and the payoff when it finally does come together. For moments like this, I will always #hunthappy 🏹 *********************************** #deerseason #deerhunting #hunting #bowhunter #bowhunting #muleycrazy #muledeer #wildhartoutdoors #livewild #diyhunting #publicland

Taking a break from the hunt to get these two cuties off to school. Ava wore her camo skirt because it looked like a hunting outfit.😂 Kindergarten and 4th grade, my how time flies. 💕 #backtoschool #hartwig5 #mygirls

Doing the cat road shuffle with @ty_hartwig_ calling elk. Bulls were quiet, but the cows were talkative. We had some really close encounters but couldn’t get it done. Time to head home for a few to get the kiddos ready for school. 😊 . . . . . . #deerseason #deerhunting #hunting #bowhunter #bowhunting #elkhunter #elkhunting #wildhartoutdoors #livewild #diyhunting #publicland #bornandraisedoutdoors #bronation #catroadshuffle #isitseptemberyet @slumberjackgear

Amazing day in the woods with @ty_hartwig_ chasing the mighty wapiti! From beginning to end we were into elk with some very close calls. @lhartwig808 was inches from arrowing his first bull. Time to sleep and do it all again in the a.m. . . . . #elkhunting #elkhunter #hunting #bowhunter #bowhunting #elk #wapiti #wildhartoutdoors #livewild #diyhunting #publicland #itsalreadyseptember

Still smiling after 7 days in the tree stand with no bucks in sight... it could be worse... I could be at home dreaming about hunting. #appreciatethejourney #butseriouslyabuckwouldbenice 🏹🦌 . . . . . #deerseason #deerhunting #hunting #bowhunter #bowhunting #muleycrazy #muledeer #wildhartoutdoors #livewild #diyhunting #publicland

My eyes when I’m away. Hoping the boys show back up again. Last night I had 3 does and a baby come in while I was in the stand. First time in a week something has been in at last light. Could be a sign things are changing. 🏹🦌 . . . . . #deerseason #deerhunting #hunting #bowhunter #bowhunting #muleycrazy #muledeer #wildhartoutdoors #livewild #diyhunting #publicland

Just as curiosity killed the cat, hoping consistency kills the buck. I’ve changed tactics in the past and missed opportunities because I wasn’t in the stand. I’m determined to wait it out. It’s a battle of wills. 5 days in the stand. Each day I feel one step closer to success. If not, there’s always late season, right? 🤷🏼‍♀️ . . . . . #deerseason #deerhunting #hunting #bowhunter #bowhunting #muleycrazy #muledeer #wildhartoutdoors #livewild #diyhunting #publicland #heredeerdeerdeer @naturespaint

Congrats to Teagan on her first archery harvest!!! I met up with Teagan during spring turkey and she was inches from harvesting a big ol Tom. So excited to see her connect on a buck. She has the heart of a bowhunter! Way to go girl! 🏹❤️ . . . . . . #deerseason #deerhunting #hunting #bowhunter #bowhunting #blacktaildeer #wildhartoutdoors #livewild #diyhunting #publicland

Nothing tests my patience or mental grit like tree stand hunting. For me, it’s always been an all or nothing scenario. The nothingness and waiting, hour after hour, either makes you or breaks you. It’s done both to me, but just as in most things in life, patience, perseverance and hard work are the foundation of accomplishments. And, so I wait… hoping tonight is the night it all comes together. . . . . . #mondaymotivation #muleymonday #deerseason #deerhunting #hunting #bowhunter #bowhunting #muleycrazy #muledeer #wildhartoutdoors #livewild #diyhunting #publicland
