I got out this weekend for a general season OTC elk hunt.
Saturday I only seen a few cows but Sunday I caught a herd in a clearcut at first light.
Rem. 700 in 300RUM, 200 gr accubond over 95.5gr of Retumbo for 3175fps.



100 yard shot, I'm surprised the bullet was just under the offside skin. This is the first accubon I've caught

124.5gr


I'm defiantly getting to old to pack out elk by myself, that was a lot of work.

Nice! Congrats!

Well done.....

Nice work Jamie, bullet looks great..

Killed a nice 6x6 years ago with the same caliber and bullet. Mine took out a shoulder at 167 yards and was in the 50% weight retention range.

Congrats on a beautiful bull. Well done

Congrats.. you sure don’t see shepherds very often.

Nice work - congrats!
Bullet looks about perfect from here.

Any elk, especially an OTC bull, is something to be proud of. Nice one!

It took 2 years of load development to get the ballistics to match the scope. I found several loads with different powders that are stupid accurate but not fast enough.

Thanks for the congrats guys . One of my hunting partners died a couple of years ago and the hunting party broke up so now I'm elk hunting solo. I like hunting alone until meats on the ground and then hunting partners would be nice.

Haha! From what I’ve seen that sounds about right. You have to be a pretty stubborn person to get one shooting as advertised, my late uncle was such a guy. I don’t think he ever got that thing squared away.

Seeing yours brought back some good memories. I used to give him so much [bleep] about that scope.

Nice Bull. Congratulations. Did you have a solo pack out too?

yep

Man that is an awful lotta meat and a trophy to be proud of dang! Nice work congratulations!

Congrats. Nice bull. Probably a 3 year old or so. That one should be darn good eating

Congrats on the bull and that 200 AB just looks excellent as well. Can’t ask for much more!

Nice work! Congrats!

WTG! Tickled for you, Jamie!

I have now moved to WA State and my boys even had my old bones out watching an elky hillside over the weekend. No way I could pack one out now with my health problems but they promise to fetch it for me. I shot a flat land blacktail with a shotgun (what is the world coming to?!), called on cell phone and two grandsons came 1 1/2 mile behind a locked gate to fetch the deer and even carried my shotgun. I could get used to this kind of service!

You have a dandy elk, especially in low odds west side WA!

Congratulations! Strong work on the solo pack out! Gonna be tasty..

I can’t imagine a solo pack out! Great job!

Sweet!

Looks like a Roosevelt, correct?

Congrats!

Well one good thing about a solo pack out is that all the meat goes home with you.

yep a coastal roosevelt

Nice - congrats!!!

Congratulations on the bull.

Nice job! Not easy to find Roosevelts in this country, envious here.

That’s awesome.

But my freezer is full of fish

Get me an address, I'll come help you make room.

Congrat's!

Nice!

Great bull!

Western WA bull .That is one tough tag to punch

congrats!

Good Rosie, Jamie...Well done! 😎

Nice bull! congrats!

Nice Bull! That’s the load I’m running in my 300 RUM. Have done well with it. Love those dark horns. Congratulations!

Very nice! Congratulations!

I hope he's some great table fare.

Beautiful elk

I've eaten a lot of elk meat over the years and its all been good.

Truth... ate a lot of elk, never had a bad one...

Nice elk! Looks like we are all in the same neck of the woods! Up by Nisqually Reach, myself.

Very nice!!!

Nice bull, surprised you found the bullet.
