Thanks guys! I cannot hunt hard anymore. This bull was flushed by my niece and came running by at about 250 yds. We were actually able to get the ATV right up to him which sure did make for an easy pack! Below is an additional photo of my niece and the head on her ATV. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p546/scopeshield/DebElkTransport2016.jpg)

That's using your head instead of your legs.

Congrats...nice one. What did you shoot him with? Rifle is my old standby and very mundane...1903A3 Springfield 30-06, excellent shooting handloads which pattern at 0.75" or less at 100yds. Hornady 165gr SST, 51.0 grs H4895. Bought that rifle through the DCM in the sixties for $10.00 and $2.50 shipping. New and unissued. Kind of wish I had kept it that way! But it is a great shooter and has taken piles of deer, antelope and elk.
