Elk .... Let's see them!!!

Mine was 27. Surprisingly, only minor other than obliterating my truck that only had 9,000 miles on it. 3 of us in the truck, my hunting partner got thrown out when we came to an abrupt stop against the tree.

Best day ever, we found out my wife was pregnant on opening morning at 3 AM.. and were then able to connect with this bull after watching him the night before.

My first elk, late season Nevada cow, 1/31/19. Hunted hard all during the long cold season, and somehow succeeded on the morning of the last day. Had her packed out to the truck solo by 4:00pm.

I always consider it better to be lucky than good. Although I experienced emotions that I didn't really know I could between the time I shot and the time I recovered this bull (cry, yelling, dry heaving, elation, and thorough turmoil. Which isn't bad for about a 40 min time period). All things being equal, if he had been a small 6 I would have been just as jacked to fill the freezer and re-live the moment with the boys back at camp.
And because packing shots are often my favorite. And when you know you're on the latter part of the pack.

Great Bull!!! Congrats!

Some monster bulls routinely killed by guys on this board. More than any other forum.

Seems like many of these tanks (like the last few posts above) are killed on OTC tags as well.

Ive always felt it’s a serious advantage to draw a good buck tag when looking for 5+ year old deer. But MT, WY and ID continue to produce large bulls with easy to get tags. THESE are the hay days of elk hunting.

Fun hunt. Saw lots of elk. My buddy killed his first bull about an hour before i killed this one.

That is a really cool bull.

It has got to be amazing to get any animal with a longbow, let along a bull like that.

Love me some good elk action. Already planning my elk hunts this fall. Got a chance to draw a limited entry tag. Thanks to Randy's advice I'll hunt elk every year.
