Super cool young bull with tons of potential.

Hahahaha!... That's why I quit guiding..;)

I just yell at me now![/quote]

It was pretty bad, but like I’ve learned over the years, you can’t kill it for them...BUT I think I was more upset than he was!! Hahaha

Jesus....I can't compete with those bulls, but here's my biggest Rocky:



My first bull. Back in the day 3 miles from the house.


Some random bulls seen while deer hunting:




On a late cow hunt:

Those thirds give me goose bumps!!

Bitterroot Valley. General season at 40 yards with a .303 Savage in my hands.

Too bad I filled my tag with a smaller bull with my bow a few weeks earlier.




Public land rag bull I could have shot, but just didn't feel like ruining a good elk hunt by shooting an elk.


Last day meat bull:

Just found another!!



The little cedar gives it an R rating

Some nice bulls all.

Now we're rolling....any bull elk is a good one.

My one and only Rosie. From Alaska.



2019 Wyoming rag

My only elk mount. Rifle kill, 2004, Missouri Breaks.



Best bow kill.

This bull was a gift from God, never shoulda happened.
Short story. First archery hunt. 37 lb bow. Called the bull into 40 yards quartered hard to us. Couldn’t come to full draw when his head was behind a tree. Came to full draw when he cleared. She started shaking so bad and said she had to release. Hit him at the neck shoulder junction and dropped him in his tracks. We run up and he has his antlers stuck in the ground. We are both trying to knock her arrow, I’ve never shook so hard in my life!!! She smokes him in the pocket and he shakes himself loose and stands up!! Another round of team arrow knocking takes place but he moves off before we can get it into him. I promise I tried to wait an hour but somehow got on his trail a little sooner. We are trailing him and I glass him up in his bed. I ask her how Indian she can be and tell her to sneak up and plug him again. She drills him again and he never leaves his bed. Probably the most exciting hunt I’ve ever been a part of... ok not so short.

Uncle Don's first elk. I've never seen a grown man so excited...Don was pretty excited too...;)

We walked in the dark, found a vantage point and waited for daylight. We heard him bugle from about 1/2 mile away. 20 minutes later, he appeared at only 100 yards.

Don made it happen with one well placed shot from his 30/06.

Photo I took back in the mid 80's during the rut in Yellowstone Park.

God damn er claw hammer!!! Hopefully Montana, Idaho, Washington or Oregon toss a permit my way, otherwise it's general raghorn musket bulls at home again!😂😂

Call this bull the wolf bull. Wolves had moved into our country and really scattered the elk. There’s a big hill with a road to the top that you can glass probably 30 square miles and most times count up to 300 head of elk. The hill is also one of the only places to get cell reception. The night before all of the guides had driven to the hill to make calls home and whatnot. There was a Fed pickup parked up there and we figured he was using the phone. In the morning I decided to go back to the hill and hopefully see something. As soon as we topped out in the dark I saw the Fed pickup was still there. As I got out to set up I could hear a bull bugling. I set up my tripod and soon found the bull and 7 cows. As I was watching them figuring out a plan a shaggy haired sleepy kid emerges from the fed pickup. He asked if I could see anything and I said yeah some elk. I asked if he was broke down and he said he was monitoring wolves, he was a F&S wolf biologist. I asked him where they were to which he replied he could just tell me what direction they were was about it. Refocusing on the elk unnoticed they were alert on something. Thinking a hunter might be making a move I panned you and there were 6 wolves,a breeding pair and 4 pups crossing the pasture. I said well he’ll there’s your wolves, and I don’t think he believed me. He said, no... really. Damn straight right down there!!! He asks if he can look through my glass So I let him slide behind me tripod. He yells THATS SO COOL!!! I’VE NEVER SEEN THEM BEFORE!!! Wtf?!? I look at my hunter and decide we better go kill this bull as they had started to move off due to the wolves. We haul butt down there and I rake the bull into 30 some yards and he smokes him. Kinda anticlimactic kill but a cool lead up!


how much money does a forensic anthropologist make

Dang SLM please tell me that bull is walking the earth!! He’s just a baby!! We’ve got the two super package guys again this year, always looking for critters!!

School me on the rifle with your 2019 bull?

6.5x284 correct? What are the other particulars, barrel contour/length and stock?

Some very impressive bulls all.

NM’, he was alive the last day of the last hunt. The gift bull is a great story.

Here’s mine from the last two seasons and my dad’s from this year. Mine were both public land CO 3rd season bulls and his was a late season OK bull on our family ranch.



We don’t normally kill big ones but we have a pretty good record of filling tags. Some of the bulls you guys have posted here are incredible.
