Bowhunting the Elk Rut

DIY bow hunter Dan Pickar takes to the timber of chasing rutting bull elk. Bowhunting the thick timber takes patience and makes closing the deal difficult. Pickar doesn’t back down and arrows a nice public land bull in this web edition of Eastmans’ Hunting TV.

About Luke Washington

Day to day at Eastmans, Luke is the Director of E-Media. Raised in the wide-open country of the West, Luke Washington lives for the chase—elk, sheep, mule deer, and antelope. Whether it’s climbing into thin air after rams, calling bulls in dark timber, or glassing sage flats for pronghorn, Luke’s at home anywhere wild country still rules. For him, hunting isn’t about ego or inches—it’s about grit, adventure, and the stories that come from doing it the hard way on public land. When he’s not on the mountain, you’ll find Luke at the family cabin in Wyoming’s Beartooth Mountains—fishing creeks, exploring trails on horseback, or gathered around the campfire with family. Those moments keep him grounded and remind him what truly matters. Driven by a deep respect for the land and the legacy of the Western lifestyle, Luke is dedicated to keeping that tradition alive for generations to come.
