I killed a delicious elk yesterday!

[SWMontana1]

Awesome job man! I wish I could find a bull like that this year........16 bulls into it since rifle season and nothing that big

Talk about greedy!! Nobody on earth should feel sorry for you!

Well done Dan, hope you have recovered from the packing out.

 

[JohnCushman]

Congrats on filling your freezer and your wall

So let's hear a couple of guesses on score..... assuming he wasn't broken off.

I will tell you that the guess we had before I pulled the trigger was wrong..........

 

[wingman1]

320?

 

[Mudranger1]

348?

 

[Lawnboy]

Great bull Dan. Glad you could hold out for a nice bull. I'm guessing 328

 

[Big Fin]

Congrats, Dan. You seem to have a knack for finding massive old bulls. Another great one for you. Nice double.

 

[ashersdad]

Nice double! You must've been hungry.

 

[diem24]

Nice double up!! Im guessing 310. Woulda been tremendous w an intact rack.

 

[shoots-straight]

How did they get loaded? Tha'ts a lot of elk laying on the ground. Congrats! Not sure I'd be ready for all that meat at once.

Great bull, congrats.

Bummer he was busted, I'd bet he'd have been close to 340 intact.

 

[TheTone]

Congrats on the double, but man that makes for lots of work. How far was the pack out?

I'll agree with Randy, somewhere around 340?

 

[elkoholic72]

I am rather sore today from loading/pulling/pushing those two into the back of his shortbed truck....with a topper! I hiked 4 miles today and it felt like 20, but I definitely am still in debt after he helped me get my goat off the mountain!

 

[Elkwhisper]

There were a couple of other bulls in the area when I shot this one...... the closes was a nice cookie cutter 290-300 bull but mine was noticeably bigger. I kept the crosshairs on him and asked Ben ( elkoholic72) to make sure there wasn't a bigger one. We guessed this bull at 320 on the hoof and were pretty confident with that guess once he hit the ground. But with a 51" main on the good side, solid tine length and actually deceivingly heavy mass numbers he would have hit right at about 340 if intact. more than big enough for me! ;!)

 

[elk_hunter]

SOB that is awesome! A solo double...wow, freaking fantastic bull!

 

[Magicman]

That is a very nice double for sure, but really, which one did you shoot first ??

 

[wingman1]

Wow! I was way off. Sorry wasn't trying to down size your bull. It's so hard to judge a pic.
Someone who knows their way around a camera can easily add 50 inches to a pic just by a little PFM.
