Thank you!
Awesome!!! Congratulations!!...Nice Pic'sJust got back home here in Pennsylvania last Saturday from a few great days of elk hunting on a general tag in eastern Wyoming and wanted to give a full report. I teased you all a bit in another thread but this one is the official report
shooting a short 20" barrel 28 nosler, 177 hammer hunters at 2860 mv, accuracy is less than 1/2 moa so I just left it at that.
The mid morning of second day we headed to a lookout above some cut banks in sage country, my buddy had been seeing a few good bulls in the area last few weeks, bedded in the sand and shade. We get to a nice big flat rock and weren't there 3 minutes maybe out pops a nice 6x6 from the canyons. As you'll see in the pic he came out between the two trees on opposite side of cut from where we were, both of my buddies ranged him at 521, by the time I got on him he had taken a few more steps, I checked my dope, dialed 7.5 moa put the crosshairs on crease behind shoulder and touched it off. I saw him flinch in scope so I knew it was a solid hit and by the time I got another round in and back on the scope I watched him tip over. He did the ten step shuffle and it was lights out. We hooted and high fived for a minute then drive to him, as we were gawking at my bull another slightly larger bull busted out of the canyon and stopped at 250 ish yards my hunting buddy let him have it. DRT. Low and behold another bull of the same caliber busts out of the opposite side of canyon.
The three of us just kind of looked around wondering what just happened. Ha!
The next day we went back to the rock and I witnessed my buddy knock down a coyote at 900 yards. Pretty impressive!
Enjoy the pictures!
This was my longest kill shot and the hammer bullets gave me the confidence to make the shot!
Disclaimer: I do not work for hammer bullets nor do I get anything for endorsing them. They work.
Thanks!
Nice Bulls!!!

How many coolers did it take to haul all that meat home?

@JMack This is awesome! I'll be headed out to Wyoming, from PA, for my first elk hunt later this year.
I'll be shooting an original Remington 8mm Rem Mag BDL that's been grouping 200gr TSXs around 1" at 300 yards at 3,125FPS! All this practice at distance and I've recently been made aware that the majority of guys take elk in the area at under 100!
How much meat did ya end up with? And, if you don't mind me asking, what did the processing run ya? We are debating trying to figure out getting the quarters home and butchering ourselves, or just having it done in Wyoming.

Great bulls and good eating. I think I missed where you listed the coordinates though.
