Shot this Bull in the Gila at 390 yards. I had pretty good luck and so did a few others but was a tough hunt for some of the guys. I came home early and did hear of a 6th Elk killed and a couple of misses, still about 14 guys looking for their Elk and today is their last day. You have to work and be able to walk to get to most of these Bulls and some of the guys were having a tough time walking.

Great hunt other than being warm, had light frost in the morning then up to 75-80 degrees during the day.

Big thanks to the Cowboy/Packers for helping me get my Bull out.

Light jacket in the morning and T shirt for most of the afternoon. Warmest Elk hunt I've ever been on.

Thanks Guys,,anyone care to guess at the score? Hint,,he doesn't score quite as high as you would think.

I'd quick guess around 300. I'd be tickled with that bull.
