Unreal. That’s amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Anymore to the story? How did it all unfold? Any other pics of the hunt and gear used? Dump it all on us.

We all love a good pic... I drew a limited entry tag this year for Roosevelt elk in BC in a boat access only zone. Typically rosie draws in BC are once in a lifetime. Plan was to come in off the saltwater, get dropped off and backpack for 14 days or until we connected. Killed this bull the 5th day ~6.5 miles up one of the drainages. Lucked out with great weather (longest sunny stretch the south coast of British Columbia has seen in 65 years), a solid group of friends, and a great bull.

One of the coolest looking bulls I've seen in a long time. Congratulations, such a cool bull.

Sorry for the delay on this, was in NW BC trying to help a buddy seal the deal on a late season goat hunt. I'll see about getting around to pumping out a full story on this sometime. There were certainly some ups and downs - missed a bigger bull on day two - but it was mostly just time spent creeping around the rainforest still hunting, glassing, and looking for sign. Bumped/heard the herd moving in some thick stuff ahead, and I never even got a full view of the bulls rack until it was dead. Timber was just so thick, but I could see it's crowns and knew (roughly) what caliber of bull it is.
