Oregon Cascade general bull. Saw him 2 days before season and luckily we were able to find him again on the opener. Definitely a team effort on this one.

Need to know more about the bike pack out. Some serious bike nerd action happening, love it!

Ask @mtnbiker208 about packing elk out with a bike. He has a little experience on the subject.

My daughter took her first bull last month, and my son his second bull. Idaho public land diy. 6.5creedmoor for my daughter, and 6.5prc 140eld from 640 yards for my son's 358" bull. One shot for each of them!

Hell yeah ! The boy’s bull is an absolute smoker- big mass, just beautiful . Congratulations to you and your family. That’s a big accomplishment in an ID OTC hunt

Congrats! Total respect for anyone killing a Cascade bull. Don't think most on here realize what a challenge that can be.

Thanks! Yeah if we didn't see him while deer hunting I wouldn't have even bought the tag and hunted. He was in a place I never would've expected to see a bull.

Thanks! He had to miss quite a few days of school to make that hunt happen... I'm just glad it worked out!
