It was a bittersweet elk season this year. Sweet because I shot my bull at 8:30 on opening day, and bitter for the same reason... I like to hunt elk, and now I can't  Seriously though, I'm still on cloud nine, and got to share the experience with my Dad. It was priceless.

No, actually... neither the bull or I said a word. I was sitting over a wallow when he came in. There were a few bulls bugling later in the week, however. They should be fired up soon.

Congrats on a fine bull. Understand your mixed feeling getting it done that soon. Gives you great opportunity to look at new ground or catch some of those big trout.
There are no bad days hunting elk, some are just better.

Thanks guys - I really hadn't planned on capturing it on the trail cam, but it worked out perfectly. Strangely enough, the last bull I shot was also captured on trail cam... but it had been set to video instead of still shots. It was pretty cool too. I still have a bear and turkey tag to fill (should've had my bear last Friday), and need to scout some new country... so I'll be plenty busy. And, I just know it's going to happen; some trophy bull is going to stand at 30 yards, oblivious to my presence
