A couple of pics of a bull that my brother and I got last fall. We shot him at 400 yds.

Great looking bull, congratulations.

I like the dark head/neck and the dark horns. Man, it's a long time til elk season.

Looks like you had a great trip. Why don't you tell us a story. What state? What rifle? What scope, Bullet, ect.

I agree with tscott.

We got this bull in British Columbia, I shoot a Browning Stainless Stalker .270 with a muzzle break topped with a Leupold 6X scope. Tried out Barnes 150 gr TSXs for the first time this year, and am quite happy witht the results.

The 3 red dots on the skyline indicate where we were and the single red dot indicate where the bull was when we shot him. It sure looks alot further than 400 yds in the picture.

I am fairly new to long range hunting, my wife just got me a Sendero SFII 300 RUM, I have a Bushnell 3200 3-9X40 on it untill I get a load worked up for it, and save enough money for the scope that I want (not sure what that is yet NF? Leupy? S&B? Bushnell?)

I'm glad you guys like the pictures, it was tons of fun and I cant wait to go back....
