It has been 15 years since I was hunting elk in the Black Hills. But then I am no longer a resident so I won't be hunting there for awhile if ever. Good luck.

heard him bugle before first light, got set up about 4-500 yards away. heard him fighting another bull for about 45 minutes. called him in, he bugled every so often on his way in. got to look at him for about 10 seconds through the binos and saw he was really symmetrical and no broken tines. his g4's are what sealed it for me. I wish all his tines were that long but I'm tickled regardless with him. he has good strong brows too. shot him walking at 80 yards dead center of the lungs, he walked a step and stood, so I put another through his ribs for good measure. both bullets hit within an inch of each other. pretty easy pack out to the truck with a friend helping me. he's hanging in another friends walk in cooler til saturday when we finish cutting him up. it worked out perfectly.
