This year I was lucky and drew a limited entry Utah elk tag on the random draw. I was able to shoot my best bull to date there at 707 yards. I also had my general wyoming tag and a extra cow tag. The Wyo bull was only 200 yards so nothing crazy and and cow was 500. Been a fun year! Also shot a muley, whitetail and bear but where this is the elk forum I won't post them haha.

Great work bud! Tell us about your rifle and load. 
It's a 300 WSM that's been completely worked over haha not sure how much detail you want but I'll put everything 
.
300 WSM built off a blue print 700 action, Stocky Stocks thumbhole stock, Jewel trigger, Proof barrel, Huskemaw scope, accurate mag bottom metal so I could use bergers. I had a guy in Evanston Wyoming "Pucker Factor Precision" put the stock on, a carbon fiber bolt knob (cause it looked cool) and he built the muzzle brake which I'm going to brag on because it's unbelievable the difference this brake is compared to the old brake I had was. This new brake I can watch impacts at 300 yards so if you're in the market check him out. Another thing I'm going to brag on and almost everyone that has seen it this year said they was buying one is the bipod I used. A friend of mine told me about it and best purchase I've made. It's called Hatch Outwest. By far the most versatile bipod I've ever used. I can go from 6" prone to kneeling without adding extensions or anything.
Load is 57.5 gr h4350 with a 210 gr Berger.

The muley was a last day buck with my 30-30 at 27 yards so definitely not long range haha unfortunately I missed a buck earlier in the hunt at 956 that we figured was 30" and around 180. Knew I shot an inch over him but hiked over to make 100% sure there was no blood which there wasn't. Was pretty upset about the miss and picked a rock out at 956 and hit it. Guess buck fever kicked in and it was all me that caused the miss. Bear was 350 and whitetail was 250
