I bagged my first elk last Sunday, a 5x5 bull, at 150 yards with my Remmy 700 Mtn Rifle in 7-08 using 150 grain Nosler Partitions. The picture is pretty crummy since all I had was my cellphone at the time, but I was pretty happy all the same!

It made for a lot of butchering today! SS "To be glad of life because it gives you a chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars.
