2023 First Bull Elk Success!

[Smallblock388]

Went on my first bull hunt and was able to harvest a nice management 5x5. Weather was warm and almost in the 80's and I was worried that the heat could possibly spoil the meat. Luckily, I shot early in the morning and the bull was in an accessible spot. We had the bull loaded up and headed back to camp by 8:30 am.

Hunting is much better and there is far less competition before the season opens!

Kidding. Im sure its open where you are. Beautiful bull and really cool photo!

Good bull. Congrats.

I’ve said it many times - elk meat ain’t ice cream. It doesn’t melt immediately
