They walked right in to our position and the first bull bedded down about 80 yards from us but we didn't have a shot. The next one came up a little higher and gave her about a 60 yard broadside shot. It was an awesome time, my brother wasn't to far from us and he shot about three minutes after my wife and we were all tagged out by 8:30. Had to pack the two elk back up the mountain and we completed that at about 3:00 PM and hung out the rest of the day and the next day with nothing to do.
