Good job Chris. You earned him.

Look at the beautiful brown hair on that face. And the bull too.

Congrats Chris!  And the beard suits you, amigo.

That is the hunt of a lifetime.  I love the character of the horns.  Nice shooting too.  5 yards is close but when you are that close it seems your brain can go to mush?  Fantastic.

 :yeah:  I shot a bull at 4' this fall and I would have rather shot him at 40 yards.  We take what we can get though eh?

Awesome write-up and beautiful old bull.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

That first photo from google earth is outside the boundary of the Margaret unit, in the Loowit. There is a separate draw tag only hunt in that drainage.

Rsarkks,
The google earth pic is definitely in the Margaret. Just east of Minnie Peak. I'm sure there are plenty of other spots in that area (Loowit, Mudflow, Margaret, Toutle) where you can see elk on google earth.
