Well, I have been waiting for this since I was a teen. Taken with my .30-06 that I bought new when I was about 19 years old. Bought it for deer and a future Elk hunt. It finally happened. Taken on the evening of day 4 of a 5 day hunt. I had the best damn Elk guide that a hunter could have. PERIOD! He made it happen for me by knowing my strengths and weaknesses. He wouldn't let me settle for anything less! I will keep him anonymous and let him be known if he wants to comment. I need to shave this beard before kids come up to me asking for Christmas presents. Bull scored 339.25 green Dressed weight was 618 Barnes 168 TTSX handloads. 2850 fps MV ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/203655.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/203654.jpg)

Oh, one more thing about my guide. Don't let him catch you eating a Snickers bar during prime time!! Nuff said!!

A really great guide would have got you 3/4” more to make it an even 340”! Just kidding!!! Great bull!! He’s got good thirds and is beautiful. Congratulations to you and the guide! Glad you finally fulfilled your dream!

That big boy will make a very handsome mount for your wall and trigger good memories in the future. Ought to fill your freezer with tasty meat, too.
Good job.
