My First Bull
« on: November 07, 2009, 09:57:28 PM »
This is my very first bull, I have been hunting with my own license since 2004 and now finally I get to fill my Elk tag.  I have the deer down to a science and now I am much more confident with these very smart animals.  This elk was taken near kelso/longview area.  I had scouted this area about a month ago and saw 7 cows.  And today, opening day, the first 5 minutes of daylight I walked slowly towards the clear cut we scouted and there I saw 3 elk.  Two cow and then there he was, I just saw antlers and knew theere were at least 3.  Shot him in the lungs at 6:47, gutted, and had the head packed to the truck by 8:00.  By 9:40 we had the elk packed to the truck and ready for breakfast.  It was an awesome day, and to top it off I was using my dad, who passed away, win. .308.  It was  an awesome experience.  But now my season is over.   :(

congrats on your first bull!  I think your father was coming out through the elk in that first picture he's smiling for you! :)
