Nevada Bull

Nice Bull! Sounds like you need to make friends with someone that has mules.

Congratulations. Looks like 140 gr 6.5 can get the job done on elk.

dandy first bull. How hard the pack out is is relative to how good the meat is. The harder the pack-out, the better the meat will taste.

Just took my first Bull 2 days ago here in Nevada. Tough conditions and lack of elk was making it rough. What elk we could spot were high around 9000ft. This bull showed up out of nowhere hanging out with some horses, and I was able to make it happen. It was one hell of a pack out with just me and my dad in the dark at 8°F, so grateful and a hunt Ill never forget.

Congrats to you. Nice Bull.
You NEVER forget the first one,
and to top it off, you filled the freezer and Pops helped.
Great memories never die.

Unit 121, Cherry Creek just north of Ely. Thank you very much.

I was on a wild fire close to there a couple years ago. Goshute Cave WF. Found some great sheds up in the hills

Very nice, there are some amazing bulls in that country. The biggest bull I've ever seen we found in September scouting 7x7 that was in that 380-390 range maybe even the magical 400 mark.

Good job,

The nevada drawing system.... I've put in for nevada elk for 22 years now without a draw. supposedly lots of points. Duck is up to 6 years and antelope is at 9 years. I end up going out of state.

I drew a Nv bull tag this year with only 6 points in 072-074 first choice. My wife drew the same tag this year with only 3 points. It's all BS luck of the draw, the current "bonus point" system doesn't work like the old "preference point" system.

looks like a nice bull hunting with dad makes it great.
