Thanks for the congrats!!! I AM HOOKED on elk hunting!!

In 9 days of hunting, we saw about 100 elk. About 10 were 6 points, with 5 going over 300 B&C, and at two that were definately 350" +!!! These were monsters, and needed no further judjing to tell that!! We saw probably a total of 10 other bulls, all being 4 and 5 points! Nothing smaller than a 4 pt!!

All told, I was within rifle range of every bull we saw, and within muzzleloader range of 2 6x's and a 4pt one morning and 30 yards of one of the 300 class 6pts another morning!!

Just butchered her yesterday. The meat was litterally falling off of the bone as we were cutting it. 155lbs total cut and wrapped, and that was after having to toss some badly bloodshot meat from where I hit her.

So, here are some pics -

Me standing on a ridge at 8000 feet, the mountian behind is 10,750 feet, I shot the elk on the ridge that shoots off to the right from there.

Camp before we left on Sunday

trying to go up a two track road in a recent burn, the day after it rained!!
