Examples of nice elk mount with 8ft ceiling limitations
I know it’s an old post, but got a nice 338” bull (my first elk) and was wondering if this photo was with 8’ ceilings? I have 9’ ceilings where I plant to put him, deciding between euro, pedestal or shoulder/wall pedestal. Thank you- SD_redbear

Elk .... Let's see them!!!
Thank you. Yes sir. I’m waffling between a standard shoulder, wall pedestal or floor pedestal. Likely a once in a lifetime bull for me, although I’m going to look at out of state hunts now that I’m hooked. SD non-landowner residents will only draw a couple SD “any elk” tags in their lifetime...- SD_redbear

First elk, South Dakota solo DIY hunt. Measured 3 times, score range 335-338” green gross. Grateful. Easily most exhilarating hunt of my life behind being with my sons for their first WT bucks. 300 WSM 180 grain Norma Bondstrike at ~50-70 yards- SD_redbear

SD Elk draws
I scouted all summer via satellite images and also went out a day early to scout in person. I did not see any elk, but did find tracks and scat. On opening morning, I left the truck just after legal shooting light, had picked parking location and initial morning plan based upon the wind...- SD_redbear

Norma Bondstrike Ammo
they’ve worked perfectly for me on antelope and deer, planning to use them for an elk in 2025. Curious to hear other members comment on effectiveness in elk.- SD_redbear

Is the 300 WSM still a viable choice of caliber?
Lifelong .270 fan, got a Savage 110 Bearhunter 300 WSM in 2020, and I’ve been very pleased with the performance on game.- SD_redbear
