My WY ELK

[jarheadhunter]

Well after 11 years of putting in I cashed out my PP and went elk hunting back in my home state. Had a blast on the archery hunt, but just couldn't get that extra inch I needed. Went back on the rifle hunt and on basically my last day to hunt I saw a few cows up in a group of pines. Not knowing if they had a bull I decided to make the trip to the top of the mountain and take a look. I found a cliff that climbed up next to the ridge they were on and worked my way around them to get on it. When I came around a boulder up on the cliff the first elk I saw was this guy. Seeing that I was leaving the next day and hadn't been seeing a lot I decide to take him. 85-90 yd shot and he was done.

Nice job! Can't complain about that one at all for a "last day" elk.

Yeah I am stoked still a great bull. Really just disappointing not sealing the deal on one of the giants I was chasing on the archery hunt. I guess that's hunting though.
