Hunted the manastash unit up against the Peaches Ridge unit. Didn't see any big bulls but got a nice 5 point.

Nice elk, great photo. You obviously did not have an easy job getting that elk out of the woods with the terrian shown in the photo. Nice job!

Yes the scope got me. It is a 340 Weatherby that I bought from a buddy a few years ago when he moved away. I never wanted to go through the pain of siting it in, but decided to try it this year. I had no problem at the range but the scope cover Got me in the field. I shot the Elk on Tuesday morning the 21st. It had snowed a couple of inches Monday and we saw alot more activity Tuesday. After Tuesday the weather turned nice again and the Elk weren't moving as much.
