Montana 411 elk hunt
« on: November 18, 2018, 01:12:36 PM »
Finally drew a bull permit in Montana. The weather was crazy. Mid 50s then snow and lots of wind and two days later in the 50s again.

















My son got another buck.



We were driving to town when we found this buck that had been shot through both back legs that were broken and through the brisket. He was in bad shape. Found the landowner that gave me permission to go shoot him. Not how i wanted my deer hunt to go ,but could not ignore him and let him suffer any longer. So I tagged and my season was over.

Great bull and well done on using your tag on that injured buck. That’s how it should be done.

Congratulations that is a beautiful bull, I was in 410 last week and we saw some nice bulls there as well, weather was really unpredictable, sub zero to 60 degrees overnight, neat country.

Awesome bull Craig.   Did you do some serious door knocking or have an in.  That unit is like 85 percent private and a couple big money ranches there.  I want to say Wik bros or something like that.   It’s been awhile since I’ve been there.
