2012 MT Elk Story

Thx 4 sharing the pics, great stuff!

Gotta ask, what bullet didn't give you a blood trail on your cow?

Barnes 165 TTSX out of a 300WSM, though in that narrow window of a shot she had turned and the bullet went in her left hind quarter and went all the way up through clipping her right lung, resting just inside her hide on her right front shoulder. Somehow, her stomach was in tact. It was a trip when I first got to her because I could not find the entry point.

Threads like this are what inspires this tx boy to get into the mountains!

Nice. I am glad you had a good time here in Montana, you guys are the kind of nonresident hunters I like to run into in the woods.

I have caught several out of state guys littering as well as poaching, but if you respect the land and wildlife you are more than welcome as far as I am concerned.

Great post, JR. Glad you had a great hunt and shared with your family.

Thanks Randy, my brother and nephew say thanks for the hats (you sent them to me after I bought a couple of tickets for the Howa you gave away last year).

Awesome too say the least...

Cool to read the excitement in your story, even though no big bulls were taken. Experiences and memories, that's what it's all about!
