Congrats to Kenny on that monster! Do you have any caliber/bullet info for us?

Congrats to Kenny on that monster! Do you have any caliber/bullet info for us? Kenny was willing to bust his hump to kill a nice bull and the hard work paid off for sure. I know he was shooting a 300 weatherby and I believe 180 grain barnes votex ammo. Don't hold me to the ammo particulars though.

Sweet bull, nice mass to the antlers.
There's 2 dates they carve on your tombstone.
Everyone knows what they mean.
What's more important is time that is known
as the little dash inbetween.

Thats a heck of a bull for sure! I'm impressed with the patience you guys had to do it right. Great job of hunting a heck of a trophy. That's one to be proud of.

Kenny made 3 great shots at 250 yards to harvest his best bull in over 30 elk hunting trips. What cartridge did he shoot him with?

That's a beauty! He looks pretty skinny. Is that from the rut? or being old?

You are getting close! In the regular it will take you a few more years. If you are willing to pay the price for the special, you should have a chance to draw it with 8 next year. It's creeping up about a half point or slightly less a year. I would guess it to be about 30% chance with 8 next year in the special.
