Not sure if I should have posted this in the backcountry section or the elk. But its gotta alot of both!!
I dont have alot of time for a long story..... Gotta leave in the am to try and fill hunting partners elk tag and my buck tag.

The short version

After a 8 tough but great days of hunting, being in elk often and passing up some bulls I never thought I would. Was able to intercept this guy on a trail, while listening to two other bulls sparring 70 yards away. He never knew what hit him!! Although I saw and stalked some larger bulls, I also passed several smaller waiting for a the right one and he was it. My best to date and I coudnt be happier!!
It was an awesome trip, and included finding some good sheds and enjoying some great country

You gotta love that.
As a side note congratz to all you successful Roosevelt guys! I love seeing those dudes

I was hoping for a double this year, and while coming close it just didnt happen. With the fire closures we are heading back over to oregon so its looking like thats a wrap for rosie bulls. Onto pics....
