4x3 bull down w/ picture and story at the bottom on my last post
« on: November 13, 2010, 08:30:20 PM »
i shot a nice 4x3 this morning about 7:30. this was my first bull. this was the third time i hunted elk. i will post pictures and the story later. me and my son just got back a hour ago. man im beat down. thank gosh my son was with me. he did alot of packing for me as my left leg has been pretty sore since deer season and ive been limping a little i guess age is catching up with me. im glad he was with me this a hunt will remember forever and it was great he was with me something we will never forget. used my 300 ultra mag.  :IBCOOL:

Congrats on your first bull.....
Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.

here is a picture of my bull. i took it on my cell phone. not the biggest bull. but a good one for my first. i sneeked up on him from a 100 yds. looked twice to make sure he had 3 points. when i saw he was a legal bull. i let him have it with my 300 ultra mag. dropped him with one shot. he was between two trees. had to wait for him to turn and then i gave him a cow elk chirp and he turned broad side and i took the shot. he was down but i put one more in his neck and that was it. i saw his rear behind two trees when we were headed back the other way thru the timber as i have seen alot of elk in this area. when i saw him by his self i waited as i thought he may be a bull so i waited for him to move and i was right. boy i had the shakes for a bit but i took a deep breath and i told my son he is a legal bull and was going to take him. sorry about the picture my digital camera is dying.

Great job on your 1st elk! Spotted it, made a plan, stalked it, reasured what you were shooting at, made a great shot and filled your freezer! Cant go any better than that for your 1st elk! Thanks for sharing!
