Finally got an Elk!
Hey guys,
I finally closed my tag on a great elk. Many thanks to all the guys who gave their support and advice when I came looking.
Last night I went out after work and the elk were finally on the land I had permission on. After a lengthy spot and stalk I was able to place a 180gr bullet from my 30.-06 in to this 5x5's heart and lungs at approx. 300m. Shot at 6:30pm and hanging by 10:00pm. Yeaaaah!!
Once again thanks a ton to all involved in helping me harvest this great animal. This is my first elk and I am so proud.
(I had a better story written up but the website/my computer went wacky and erased it all. So this will have to do for now. Enjoy!)
