My elk with bow
 
This is my elk that I killed this year.The shot looks way back but the elk was walking at a hard angle away from me.The bull only went 20 yards than piled up.At the time of the shot there was 5 outher bulls less than 100 yards from me.This one was the nices one out of the bunch.He grosses 337 not sure of net yet.

Did you book a guide service or go it alone. I am looking to go out west next year for an Elk hunt, but its a pain to try and find a good guide. It will be my first trip out there and I want to do it right.

I did not nor will I hire a guide.Elk are not to smart.If you are a good whitetail hunter you can eat elk prity eazy.I moved to MT.7 years ago and have killed 8 elk.Last year and this year you can get a extra cow tag.I passed up 8 bulls befor I shot this one.A passed bull means he was at least 30 yards or closer.

The elk pic that is here is of one brian shot. He was a guy I invited on this sight to come hunt with me this year.It took him 5 days to kill this one.His pic in not real good but the elk is a 7x6. I would gess his would score around 300 bc.

My wife missed a very very big elk this year. I think she got a little shuck up.The bull she missed I would have to gess to be around 400 bc.It was a 8x8 with at least 50in main beams.She is still hunting and will kill one.In the 7 years she has killed 3 but this year is not over yet.

Congrads! I can't wait to get out there and try my hand at it! My son (who's 2) and I sit and watch all The Truth Big Bulls videos by Primos all the time. He makes one of the most perfect elk bugles I've ever heard; I'm just worried about what it's doing to his vocal chords! :D

Man nice bulls, I'm envious as well........I lived in MT and worked as a flyfishing guide for a short time and absolutely LOVED it out there. I'd kill to be chasing elk around this fall.[&o]
Where in MT are you guys hunting? I lived in the Paradise Valley about 17miles north of Gardiner (N entrance to the Park) in the Tom Miner Basin.
Lots of great bulls in that area.

You guys are doing it right.:)
