Title: 4x3 bull down w/ picture and story at the bottom on my last post
Post by: shorthair15 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:
