Skagit Bull Down!
« on: October 18, 2013, 08:54:48 PM »
I was able to seal the deal this morning on a 6x5. It was the third morning I've been out and the first I was able to actually get up there early. He was running cows and bugling like crazy. Not the biggest bull in the world, but I'm quite proud of this for my first elk. This hunt was made even more special cause I could feel my dad there with me who I just lost on the 23rd. RIP Dad!

I was shooting a 30-06 with hand-loaded Nosler 180 gr Accubond bullets. It straight obliterated the heart and this guy didn't make it 50 yds from where I shot him.
