look over we thought it was a small yearling cow from last year. Perfect. Rylee made a perfect lung shot and had her first elk on the ground! We got up to the elk and realized it was from this year, but she is super happy and we couldn’t be any more proud of her!(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240824/1136cbb59e00dcc2c27fc1ad5ca125a0.jpg)

Finally got it done with a bow. This is my first animal taken with a bow. Only took me 12 points to draw the multi-season tag and the extra funds to buy the tag for me to shoot a spike on opening day of the first season. :chuckle: Very thankful for the meat and to get to share the experience with my family.Congrats!!

Hey man great bull I was the guy camping in the road on your way out . Pretty sure that was you? Ended up killing a cow out of that same herd the next morning, since there was no bulls left in it :chuckle:.

I don't really like following after that toad, but here's my bull
I understand your reservation but keep in mind you are hunting a season with generally single digit or low teens success percentage. Any bull is a trophy in my opinion. I've been at it for 8 years now and still haven't connected. Both trophies from this guys perspective. Congratulations to you both!

Man, great job on that bull! I would be proud to put my tag on that guy!
It truly doesn’t matter the size. I shoot the first legal elk that I have a chance at. Any elk with a bow is a true trophy! People dont realize how hard it is to kill these majestic creatures! Luck is a huge factor.

Don't take me the wrong way. I am totally proud of my bull and I am very grateful that I had a chance to harvest him. It is definitely a challenge and some luck to get one on the ground. I just had a little antler envy.I don't really like following after that toad, but here's my bull

First muzzy bull in the books. Leupold RDS is a game changer. Caught him chasing 3 cows on a flat. 100 yards shot and a thor bullet dropped him in his tracks. Found a mechanical Broadhead stuck in his shoulder blade. Half mile packout from the truck was a blessing :IBCOOL:.
You only had to hike 9 miles to shoot that bull .5 miles from the gate. I'm sure that's just how you planned it. :chuckle:
Pretty cool you had him on camera. Great job D

I guarantee you, the pleasure was all ours.
Sharing camp was a highlight, even if you do shoot 1 elk per 2 hours invested.
I can't thank you enough for taking my son in after those elk.
He loved every minute of it.
Per my son, Karl did everything humanly possible to position and reposition my son to shoot the elk while Karl called, but the elk eventually insisted that Karl shoot it.
And they eat so much better than Mule Deer!

Also want to say thanks to a lot of great members of this forum for pointing me in the right direction when I drew the tag. Could not have done it without that help as I only had a few weekends to scout, and their insight gave me some great starting points.

Well if you're going to do it you might as well ruin all other muzzy hunts by killing a giant on the 1st go🤣

Haha I’ve passed on a lot of deer with it with a multi season over the years but after waiting about 25 years for an elk tag figured I should pull the trigger.First muzzy animal.

Congrats on a beautiful Roosevelt's elk, that is a big bodied bruiser right there. Everything about that picture is olympic peninsula, from the red antlers, the body size andmass, to your rubber gloves and rain gear lol. That elk was no doubt earned.

This was a difficult hunt due to the nature of the training center. The last 5 days were action packed with elk. I've never seen bachelor groups of bull during hunting season before. I saw several, groups of 8 to 18.
This bull was with 13 other bulls including a 380 class bull. Due to it being the last day of the season I didn't wait out the big bull as the wind was shifting on me. One shot at 225 yards with the .300 RUM.

We have one giant standup and one chest freezer that’s so big you can put 3 elk in it alone. Then the freezer above our refrigerator. This elk is going to my father in laws, he didn’t get one this year.

Oh Man! Good for you!!! -- Retired teacher here.... The teacher lounge is great fun!... Reheated venison and they want the recipe ...but some are squeamish and need educated.... Microwaved/reheated salmon and cod, on the other hand, is another story.... I guess it taints their cup-o-noodles.... :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :dunno: :IBCOOL:

Very tough hunt,no snow,lots of people recreation going on.
Made the hunt a little ruff. Got it done second to last day.
Finding elk was easy,very hard to find one on public.
Learned a lot about elk hunting.
Only elk I have ever harvested.
Only animal I quartered,so definitely learning.
First permit filled, quality deer,spring bear I failed.
