That's an awesome bull! Covid does suck and solo hunting elk is a lot of work.

It's all a fabrication. There's just no way a Sierra Game King went through an elk leg bone, let alone exited afterwards. They're barely adequate for deer, right?

Well done and good on you for not saying whoa in the middle of a horse race

After the game is over, the king and the pawn go into the same box.

Well done! Great recovery on your part, great hunt, great story, and great to see the 308 taking care of business.

Quite a fulfilling story between the 5 year drought and then putting a good old bull to rest. Enjoy the good stockpile of meat that will continue to evoke the memories of another grand adventure.

Congrats on your hunt and taking a fine old bull. After the past couple of years you've had, the smile on your face says a lot.

Very well done! IMO, any bull shot in that manner is a trophy!

Brad; Good afternoon sir, I hope that this Veteran's Day afternoon finds you and your fine family well. Thanks for sharing the hunt photo and story with us and for sure hearty congratulations. If I'm not wrong you're just a few months older than me so I'm mightily impressed seeing you still out there and getting it done solo. Sincere kudos for that. When I was wandering up in the local mountains this fall looking for elk earlier and lately moose, I'm "extremely careful" to pay attention to just how far from vehicle access points I'm at. Funny how 25 or 30 years does that to us?  Honestly though Brad, you're an inspiration to me to keep fit and do my best to stay in shape so I'm able to cruise the mountains behind the house each fall. Thanks for that for sure. All the best to you all as we head into cooler and shorter days Brad. Dwayne

Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved.

I wish for one more. Hard to find in my home country nowadays but the looking is still grand.

Darn fine bull Brad! Congrats.
If it were possible, that bull could really share some stories.
Heck, if it means anything, you sure don't look 60+ All that good living evidently.
