Well I get little time to hunt on my own, but when I do I go after it. I took one of my guides and we hiked in 4.5 miles into a nasty canyon, bulls were there.
Neat looking bull.
Congrats.
Very nice bull.. Good job.
I thought the wolves killed all the elk here....hmmm.
Nice bull! Big heavy dude!
Thank you all, I am fortunate. I had one day to hunt for myself last year during archery and was able to arrow a beautiful 6x7. This bull was during rifle and was actually not the bull I went in after. Hiked 4.5 miles in with one of my guides, found the bull I was looking for, but had no shot opportunity, he was bedded with two other bulls, I shot the only one I had an opportunity at. He was bedded at 440 yards, first shot angled up through the chest, he stood up and faced me and the second shot hit him in the throat, he dropped in his bed.
