Congrats on the bull, When your feet dry out there will be back strap on the fire.
Oops hunting in the cascades your feet never dry out. Anyway great pics.

And yes the elk in the cascades are considered rosevelt elk, there is basically no genitic difference between the sub species but they are a product of their enviroment. The rocky mnt. elk get alot more minerals out of the soil that encourage antler growth, where as the rosevelt forage on alot more lush feed that gives them enormous body size.

Always good to see someone enjoying the rigors of elk hunting.
