Elk .... Let's see them!!!

[DFS]

Couldn't get this bull to leave his cows tonight. Must have been one hot cow the way he was acting. I definitely was going to shoot him if he hoped the fence. Any guesses on score? Im trying to get better at field judging.

Scores big enough.

Yup. Not even a second thought.

I agree nice long tines. He got me excited as soon as I put glass on him.

IMO 310-320. Handsome bull! Hope you have an opportunity. Good luck-

Congrats on your bull!! @samuel_284Win
Looks like the kinda spot you’re either sweating your tail off or getting blown away by the wind lol

@Hams42 how far from Billings do you typically travel to elk hunt? Came from Boze and trying to figure my way around… I’d agree just over 300”. I’d be pretty amazed if it was in the 2’s from the photos…

Montana tag punched. First time packing one out solo and happy to report it kicked my ass and took all damn day. Public land is the greatest thing ever.

Glassed him bedding 3/4 of a mile across a canyon. Took a while to get over to him, but finally caught him bedded in the timber pocket we saw him go into. My son's first bull!

Cool looking bull, would make a very unique euro.

My son's first elk. His second season hunting. 13 years old. It was a 323yd shot with my 7mm Rem Mag.

I was going to say the same thing. I was watching a diy hunt on youtube the other day and this group of hunters got together in Wyoming I believe and they got to within around 200 yards of a herd of elk with two bulls that were both six points and they said no that's not what we're looking for. Blew my mind.
