MT General.

As we slowed down on our approach to a herd with 5 legal bulls in it, we stopped and looked around. This bull popped out if nowhere over the ridge and started coming in on a string towards us. In threat of him taking the herd with him, I decided I couldn't pass up a bull a mile from the rig.

My buddies and I finally connected on our first elk. I say 'our' because it was definitely a team effort. Took us four years but we finally got dialed in on our area and everything fell into place. Of course I decided to shoot this guy while he was feeding on the side of a cliff and so we had an adventure getting him out of there.

The girlfriend cashed in on 10 points in Colorado for a 1st rifle tag this year. Getting in close enough to see them through the thick timber was rough but she got it done on the fourth day.

Here's my 2022 bull, he's my 5th 6 point bull in a row on public ground in OR. (2021 barely had a sixth)



Here are my last 5 years' bulls in order from newest to oldest.

Montana general archery. First year with a Montana tag in my pocket, and have to say it went a lot better than I hoped it would. I didn't get a great look at this bull before I shot him, but he's a much better bull than I was looking for. Thanks for everything, Montana.

Congrats!

Long awaited Utah limited entry tag bull.
Bulls screaming in our face for a solid week.
Perfect elk experience!

You trying to be funny? That's BS. That boy's bull elk is pure wild free roaming, albeit genetic abnormal antler twist very cool wildlife.

I believe you are correct and it's something genetic. I shot this 5x2 bull a few years back. His antlers were not deformed during the velvet period as there was no damage to them at all. He just grew his left side like this. A couple years later I saw a larger bull that had the exact same antler configuration a couple miles away from where I shot my bull.



Added these pics as it shows it better.
