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

Did you have to tie him off while you processed him?

Almost, there was about a 2 foot ish rock behind him where he dropped which helped him from rolling off. Kind of acted like wheel chocks

My 16 year old boy is showing me up. He had already passed on some spikes. Pulled him out of school because I new this bull was hitting a wallow. I can't pass an elk up so I was already tagged out on a raggy. I am so damned proud of this boy. He and the bull are beasts.

Great dad move pulling him out of school. Nice job!

My WY bull. Just to clear up any confusion, 6.5 PRC bullets do NOT bounce off elk.

Shot a young bull on Monday morning, got back last night. He was the 11th bull we'd seen in 3 days, and considering the shot, the view, and the company, I decided I couldn't pass on him. What a fun trip, I'll do a writeup for you guys...

You could generalize that statement even further by saying accubonds don't bounce off of anything.

Despite my handle this bull was actually taken with a 156 Berger, but all of my other bulls have been taken with the Accubond and my brother's bull from this same trip was taken through both shoulders with a 200 grain Accubond out of his 300 Ultra, needless to say that one didn't go far.

Heres an 175 accubond long range from a 28 nosler at 98 yards. Went through the front shoulder and passed through almost full length of the body to up against the skin in front of the right hip. Second shot passed completely through. Not bad for almost max velocity.

Speaking of bullets, when you shoot a muzzy bullet at under 1700fps and it leaves no bloodshot meat at all, but makes jelly out of the lungs, make sure that you recover both bullets prior to grinding the burger. The one bullet we found buried in the off side shoulder, the one we didn't was in the neck meat that went through the grinder. Made lots of noise and halted the process.

It took three pics to cover the whole herd. About a mile from the house. Wife loves it when I drive off to hunt someplace and go past these guys. Guess I know what the error message was!
