2025 elk meat pole

[Freborg]

Congrats to all, so much success! Never looked at the thread before until now. 1st bull, 11/13/25 MT public land. 5th year/tag, 1st year going back for a rifle hunt after archery. Solo when I shot him, but the best part was I got to enjoy the last trip of the pack out with the help of my 73 year old father. Shot the bull with the same Browning BBR Dad got his first bull with.

Nothing spectacular but my first elk.
Howa 1500 in 300 PRC, 200 yds using 212gr ELDX I loaded myself.

First bull on first western hunting trip. We managed to get him on the last evening there. Had to make a mad dash 1.8 miles up the mountain in the last hour of light and was able to shoot him at 350yds in last few minutes of light. 300wsm, western Montana

Thanks! He isn’t huge by any means but we worked our butts off to get into a position to shoot in time, and just didn’t have time to comb through the herd to find the biggest so I took first opportunity we had.
