Logan Romey | First Archer Elk Tag Punched

Logan reflects on his first-ever archery elk kill... a solo hunt in grizzly country that turned into a picture-perfect rut experience with bulls screaming every day. Coming off a successful bow kill on a buck, he went in confident, determined, and eventually sealed the deal after a few hard days. His wife and father-in-law joined him afterward to pack the elk out. Thankfully only a mile and a half downhill. Logan wasn’t chasing antler score, he was just focused on getting it done and enjoying the process.

He also shares upcoming hunt plans, including a late-season backpack rifle deer hunt in new country, and laughs about freezers overflowing with meat after a moose and multiple deer between him and his wife.

I mean, so you don't regret it, but what was maybe tell me a
little bit if you don't mind sharing, what was special about
it where there is that little itch like man, that would have
been fun to have documented. Yeah, so I, it was my first
archery elk kill, So. So that was cool.

(00:45):
That would have been something cool to have on film.
It was I've I've haunted archeryelk a little bit, but not a ton
like here and there just for funto go out with buddies and we
just like mess around and try and kill something and we never
did, you know, but this was thatwas the.
First, sounds like that sounds like me.

(01:06):
Exactly right. I mean, it's fun, but like we we
never got close. And so last year I was coming
off of a hunt where I killed a buck with my bow and I was
feeling pretty confident in myself and my abilities.
And I was like, yeah, I'm going to go out here and and I'm going
to kill an elk. Like it's going to be easy,
right? And I, it took me a few days,

(01:26):
but like I got it done and it was my first time killing an elk
with my bone. Now that was cool.
That was special. I got to, I was totally solo
like by myself in grizzly bear country.
Like it was awesome. I loved it.
And I, after I shot it like my wife came up and her, her dad

(01:47):
came up and like we all, we packed it out like it was just a
cool experience to have and, andto, to live and like, just like
picture perfect elk hunting there.
The elk were going crazy every day.
Like I was in range on bulls every day.
And if I just had to finally come together eventually, it
just took some time, you know, so.

(02:09):
Did you go out with the mindset,like as far as this one with
your archery where you're like, hey, like I want to find like a
big boy or just like, hey, I'm going to find like, you know,
look for the right opportunity to present itself.
I want to tell you about Bison King.
It's the jerky I keep in my truck, in my pack and in my
studio. It's 100% American raised bison
stores from ranchers who actually care about responsible

(02:30):
meat production. Every batch is handcrafted and
done in small runs so it tastes fresh every time.
They come in big 5 oz bags with three flavors to choose from.
Teriyaki, it's the tender crowd favorite, peppered for that bold
bite. And bison and salt, just two
clean ingredients for those who want clean protein to power
their day. Why bison jerky?

(02:50):
It gives you more protein per ozthan beef jerky.
It's leaner and more nutrient dense to fuel your day.

I wasn't worried about how big it was, what it scored.
I was just trying to meal and elk honestly like.
Yeah, yeah. So you get it done, the wife
comes up, you say it was your dad or your father-in-law,
father-in-law. OK, so they come up, help pack
it out. Was it, was it like a, was it a

(03:33):
long pack out? Was it not too bad?
Wasn't bad, it was like a mile and a half downhill so it wasn't
bad at all. Actually it was.
It was a pretty good, pretty easy pack out.
Took a couple trips though. Can't wait to feel the weight of
the elk quarter on my back and Iand I hope it's like 8 miles.
Yeah. You won't you won't hope I maybe

(03:54):
should I maybe should have takenthat back.
I I hope it's like a quarter mile from camp, like I'm walking
out one just had a dumb luck come stumbling in and it's like,
hey, it's my time. Take me baby.
Well that's, that's cool. So have have you got any more
hunts going on the rest of the year?
So I have one, I have another deer tag if I want and I am

(04:15):
going on a hunt next week as we're recording this.
So first week in November, I'll be out on a backpack hunt, just
rifle over the counter deer tag and it's a good time of year to
be out. We're going to be in an area
that's not super. There's not, there's not a high
density, but, but there's quite a few deer there.

(04:38):
Yeah, we're backpacking in. We're probably going to go in
about, I don't know, 5 to 10 miles depending on how the snow
looks and the country and everything.
It's kind of a spot that I've never been before.
Me and two buddies are going to head in there on that.
And then there's some opportunity if I want as a, as a
resident Idaho with over the counter tag.

(04:59):
There's some other opportunitiesif I if I don't kill a buck
there, there's still some stuff open.
I don't think I'm going to spendtoo much time out looking
though, unless I somehow stumbleupon like a big buck and I want
to try and kill it. I don't need AI don't need
another deer in my freezer rightnow.
It's my freezer is full and thenand then after that.

(05:20):
Well, if you. Do stumble upon one and you
can't find a freezer to put it in?
Just give me a call. There you go.
All right, yeah, dude, my wife, she killed a moose this year and
then I've killed 2 deers so far and we still have meat in our
freezer from last year. That's awesome.
Like, it's. It's great.
Yeah, it's great. We eat a lot.
We eat a lot. We eat meat every day and then

(05:42):
give it away to some friends andfamily and stuff.
