Stubblejumper, Congrats on filling your tag with some lovely eats.

This year we made a choice to hunt bulls feeling the rut would be on time, as Sask changed the reg elk rifle season from bulls only 2 week season to 1st week bulls only and 2nd week either sex. It proved to be a miscalculation with very few real elk talking our party ended up taking 3 bulls. I agree any legal elk is good elk and while I had visions of getting a good one I was pleased with taking my 3rd bull in as many seasons on the last evening of my hunt - 3 year old big bodied rag spike.
