Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Post those trophy photos from this season

First time in my 65 years (58 yrs casting, reloading and hunting), hunting with and then taking a big game animal with factory ammo. Barnes Bullets 300 PRC Vor-Tx LR ammo shooting the 208 gr LRX bullet. On the mountain 9 days in a Springbar tent by myself with no connectivity. Went home and hunted last 3 days from home. Taken on the 9th day of a 9 day hunt. Thankfully help came when I called. Utah DWR says the bull's tooth aged at 12 years of age. Back straps are quite chewy. Bulk of the bull is ground meat. Can't apply for a Utah limited entry tag for 5 years which is fine by me since spikes and cows are tastier.
