Ain’t nothing easy about killing an elk, even when it seems like it

Congrats Chris! Since you have moved to MT, you are making it easy. Oregon seemed to equip you for all the intensity that Montana provides. Nice elk!

My job I have to work till 1 AM, yesterday was the rifle opener in Montana

Got up about 730am packed the truck left the house around 10am
got in the Woods at around 1pm … Bull down 6pm

He came past me, bugling and screaming pushing about 10 cows at about 75 - 80 yds , now he’s pushing up daisy’s

I’ve only been hunting elk for 11 years. This is my sixth elk and my biggest , pretty amazing day.

Well, time to start thinking about deer hunting and guiding for my family , I still got four weeks off of rifle season …

Good job nice bull

 

[Pagosa]

Wow, really nice bull. That is a great find on public land and easy terrian in a non limited unit. I only got to elk hunt 3 days this year and was hoping for any elk. I only seen one five point and two cows in a lot of miles through deadfalls. No shots but already planning for next year when I can hunt a full 7-10 days of the season. Congrats and I bet he will be great eating
