Here’s my 1st bull. I killed him in 1997, farther in a wilderness then I should have been on a solo hunt. My dad ended up saving my butt driving all night to bring his horse over to get the meat out before it spoiled. Only pic I got because the battery on my camera died.

Went on my first Colorado OTC hunt in 2017. On the last evening of our hunt, this 5x5 came in to 60 yards. Made a great shot and he piled up within 25 yds. Fortunate enough to be able to back the truck right up and load him in the bed. It’s a day I’ll never forget.

First bull elk 1980 AD. Not a field photo because I didn't carry a camera in the field back then. But, yeah, they did have cameras all those years ago.

What rifle was that? Almost looks like a savage 99

I dont recall what rifle I used on that hunt. I do remember it was a .270 caliber

I did have a 300 Savage Model 99 but I gave it away 20 years ago.

I can’t find a photo of my first bull (a 28” tall fork x spike about 20 years ago now), but this is my first branch bull a few years later. I’ve taken a lot of elk since then, but my first branch bull is probably still the most exciting for me.

1st and only elk so far. I know I am INCREDIBLY lucky and I will most likely NEVER top him. Shot at 51 yards with my bow in New Mexico.
I rough scored him at 363” 7x6

First bull! Called him off his group of 20 cows right to the tree I was behind. Best part was my old man was by my side.
