All I can say is 'wow'! Good job you guys (and the wives/girlfriends). Thanks for posting great pix and story.

Amazing story. Makes you wonder how many other hunters that big one has gotten away from over the years. Was it LE for archery but general rifle?

Yes it does. He was always weary whenever I did see him, and he never actually had any interest in cows when there were other bulls rutting nearby. The tag was a special draw permit.

Awesome recap of your season man! Love the pics too, especially of the big boy, he looks prehistoric!

Yes it is. Luckily one pro of living out in the middle of no where and this terrible drought we had this summer was being able to be close to the elk, and not having a lot to do during the end of summer/fall. However I was starting to get mentally drained with that many days in the field only chasing and looking for the one big bull in particular. I am ready for a little time off from elk hunting! That's sure to only last till the new year though

A few pics to put an end to this chapter.... both of our bulls are done and and have been back from the beetles for a while now, I just have to go and get mine from Justin's house. In the last picture, Justin's bull has a hole in his face. We are assuming a tine must have done that but who knows?? His bull showed no signs of that bugging him so who knows how old of an injury that was. Heres to hoping we can match 2017's elk season this year!

Great story and amazing pic's thanks for sharing.
Slowly building NR points so I can hopefully draw one of these better LE units. Great state to chase elk....good luck in 2018.

I'd love to find those sheds! I just won't time to look for any until May, and being that I only saw him a handful of times who knows where he went to. He also looked to be in fairly poor body condition when I saw him, so hopefully he went someplace a ways from where I saw him this fall, because this winter has been absolutely brutal.
