2005 - Eastern Nevada. Thanks to NVLongbow and Jereep.

Saw some really big busted bulls, but none of the whoppers were still intact. This guy was the unlikely dude who made an appearance in the final days of the hunt.

Wow

Four bulls in four years that me and my buddies have taken.

Nice!

awesome stuff guys

Congrats!! Beautiful bull. Hopefully you were made aware that there is no known cure for this after your first one.

You're absolutely right! I need to check myself into therapy for elk addiction!

First archery bull of mine. Shot him at 5 yards after calling him across the field. He walked in front of our makeshift blind broadside. Can't wait to do it again.

My first branch bull from a few years ago. Hoping to find a shooter in New Mexico this year in unit 12 on my first out of state hunt.

Lots of firsts with this one, first successful solo hunt, first elk, first time using gutless method, first pack out. I stalked into her bed from my glassing spot a mile away. Shot from 110 yards.

Congrats! Sound like a great hunt! Doing it solo can be so rewarding.

It definitely was rewarding. Fun too, except the pack out. I'm glad I did it and am looking forward to the next time.

Congrats on all of the 'firsts'! That's awesome!

Here's the deal. Since the "Let's see them" pronghorn thread is one of the most viewed on this site, and most viewed by lurkers, I am thinking we should do the same with elk and show how many elk guys on this site take.

This thread will be a "sticky thread" and be at the top of the Elk Forum, from here on out. It doesn't matter when you shot it, how you shot it, or if you were just the person helping, this is the thread to post elk pictures. No need to post a long story, just a pic and a few notes about the hunt.

Be as specific or vague as you want, as far as location.

Here goes.

2005 - Missouri River Breaks rifle tag. My son's first elk. Most fun I ever had on an elk hunt. We were joined by my brother, Logdawg.

Thanks for doing this. I hope this thread becomes as popular as the pronghorn thread. I know you guys have shot a lot of elk, so post 'em up right here, even if they have previsouly been posted on another thread.

My first elk on my 33rd birthday in 2019 in CO GMU 76! Stalked a bugling bull and his harem up through this valley, then stumbled onto the herd. "Bugs Bunny" creeped onto the full herd and got behind a rock - picked out a cow that turned broadside and made a great lung shot at 240yds.

Husband unit and I are archery hunting for the first time this year and I couldn't be more excited. Counting down the days. Really want to get one before he does

Awesome job on that elk! Your smile says it all.
