I took this 5x4 Bull Elk on the second day of archery season (August 29) at about 5:30 in the evening. It was a 22 yard shot over a small water hole I had been sitting on since noon. He went about 300 yards (dropped down the back side of the mountain). It is a 2 mile hike in but well worth the trek. I took a nice 5x4 Mule deer at the same water hole and a 4x4 Bull elk about 600 yards down the mountain last year. He must have suffered an injury to his left antler when he was young. It comes out of head a little low and back. This was also the side which had four points.

Looks like you should have plenty of elk meat for the winter!! Good job on the elk GB!!!

Congratulations!!

Nice animal. I love hunting waterholes. I just wish it didn't have to be so dry to make them effective. Great Hunt.

Nice elk.

Any bull is a GOOD BULL !! Coglads, Hope you had some horses for tthe pack out!! I don't want to carry an elk quarter 2 miles !!!
