Buddy's 1st Bull....
Buddies 1st Bull....
taken on Monday afternoon (10/16) around 6:30p. Thompson Center Arms Encore in .325WSM at 75 yards. (trotted about 20 yards and folded)
I think that when the radio stirred back at camp, I was more excited about his than my own first only two days previous!

Another pic of Elk....and no he didn't shoot his head off!!!
For anyone interested, although at close range it becomes less significant, but the .325 WSM with 200gr Accubond did a nice job.

RE: Buddy's 1st Bull....
RRH,
Congratulations. Nice bulls, both of you, and any cows you picked up along the way are a bonus. You guys are kinda of making that area your own now andappear to be getting "salted in." I remember back in the days when it was all kind of new and uncertain for you.Even then, you all had good attitudes and were determined to have a good time no matter what, so many people underestimate the importance of that. I guessI got a soft spot for folks that like to "powercamp" and be comfortable --- never mind the weight. Very good.
That "pointed stick"article youcomposed with was a winner too.
