I shot my first bull just up the road from your house I think. :IBCOOL: This was my first year elk hunting and I got a nice little three point.
I think I'll have to post the story and a couple pics. Congrats!

Nice Elk as any are...I'll be the jerk. Dude you are shooting a cow. Have a bud who shot a 389 high fence, and he gets less praise then then the guy shooting a spike on public land. Good on ya, but it is what is is. The guys who are mentioning all " quality meat" really wanted to say what I just said. Nothing against your elk as any bull is good bull.That's the most stupid thing I have ever heard :'( I been hunting elk for more years then you've been alive. And I'm very proud of my spike I killed and the cows and calf's I've killed with my bow. All were trophy's to me. Sound like you'er just jealous :chuckle: :'(

You aren't making sense to me.... it is not clear to me what you're point is at all. Maybe it is a jealous rant.

That's why. A 389 high fence is not hunting. That is growing a crop, nurturing a crop and harvesting a crop. Not hard to do, you just need to have money.

What? That was a WILD bull killed in a feeding area. Only an anti would have anything bad to say about that, or as others have said, a jealous hunter. I see nothing wrong with an "easy" elk.

Nothing against your elk as any bull is good bull.I bet you think the guy that shoots a bull driving down the logging road is a better hunter than I am. Well I did push the easy button this year, but this herd has not been in these fields much at all this year. I dont see any difference than spotting elk in a clearcut and going back openig day. I am only wasting my time responding to your assinine comments because I was anxious to get home after work and see what the nice guys on this site had to say and then I read your jacka$$ response. I had never seen these elk in my life, and I made the three hundred plus yard shot and am damn proud of it. In fact heres another picture of my cow >:(

I'd be proud of that elk too.
Sweet looking rifle......what rifle are you shooting and what bullet?
Again, congratulations. :tup:

not cool, Sounds like a herd that roams around and gets hunted elsewhere or there would be more than 2 bulls in there and he would not have to shoot from 300 yards.
Congrats on your bull and on getting permission to hunt private property.

Like driving into a clearcut and shooting an elk is any different. Its just a different crop in a bigger field.
Good job on the harvest.

A high fence elk is completely different from this one; this is the same as shooting one in a clearcut; the meat just stays cleaner. I'm just glad to see a local harbor boy get him in the field rather than some weekend woodsman from King County.
