Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Who all's scored so far this season?

Nice fat cow taken on at around 4PM on the last day of my hunt. Took the biggest buck of my life the day before. Cross-valley shot with .300WM/180g Barnes MRX, broadside with a pass-thru (exit side shown), right at 399 yards per GPS co-ords and Google Earth. The elk came through a saddle I had crossed only 15-20 minutes before on my way to a ridge top where I took some photos before starting to hunt my way back to the truck. I was headed back to the saddle when five elk crossed through. The slope I was on was pretty steep so I just sat back, got into a comfortable sitting position and waited. The elk started out at 150 yards and I was thinking I'd have to take a moving shot (fast walk) when the lead cow stopped and presented a perfect broadside.
