The reason I bring that up is, it may explain the OP's motivation. People who hunt public land, (where most elk hunting is done) can hunt a long time and not get a shot at a bull like that. So there may be some envy involved.


I will give him the benefit of the doubt re: envy, but we just didn't walk up to this elk and whacked him, for me I had to work for it and no difference to the 350 yard shot I took in Africa (Dande North and of course NO fences)on a kudu bull, or the 200 plus yard on a deer here in Georgia (again no fences) . Like you said amigo, we enjoyed it!


Yet the difference is that on public land, there's nobody driving a bull towards you and no fence to keep him close. It's just not the same thing. Hiking with a guaranteed outcome vs DIY hunting. I have no doubt you put in some effort, but the outcome was never in question.
