My buddy also has that tag. He’s been putting in for years also. You might run into him up there. If I can I’ll be up with him towards the end of the week. He’s got some good pics already! Good luck and have fun!

Happy Saturday.  Back from the Quinault on Thursday.   Had a fantastic hunt with 2 good friends.
Couldn’t have done it without them.  It’s been a hot season, and we didn’t see an elk in our unit on the opener.   Day 2 day we got on a herd with 5 bulls and lots of cows.  Trailed them for 2 and a half hours before I was able to get a shot.  I ended up taking a 150 yard off hand shot in a creek near the park line.  I was nervous and said a quick prayer.    The first shot hammered him in the high shoulder.  He fell to his knees and got back up.  A quick second lung shot put him away.   I was overwhelmed by the beauty of this bull.
He was the herd bull, and I couldn’t ask for anything more. Took the bull to my taxidermist.   He hasn’t measured him, but he said he looks to be right at 300.   300 or 295, I couldn’t be happier.    After 24 years of putting in, I got the hunt I always dreamed of.

Really glad to hear it worked out so well. Stud bull. Love the mass on those mature Roosevelts.
