Got it done today on day 4. After 3 days of seeing nothing but turkeys, this morning I set up in a valley over looking a meadow. Out of no where 1000 yards away right at day light I spotted 3 bulls. I took off on foot leaving behind my binoculars and all kinds of other stuff and moved quickly and as quiet as possible. The biggest was a 4x4 and he was already half way up the mountain. I got on my belly rested my 7mm on a tree stump and took a 250 yard shot shooting up hill and nailed him quartering away. He ran 200 yards and dropped. My first ever elk hunt was a success. Addicted now I would say even though I walked 5000 miles it seems!

Pay it forward - Kids are the future.
Rifles are similar to boats and young women...there's no end to how much money you can pour into them without making them any more useful.

Congrats Hartca on th bull.
I spotted my cow while sitting on a ridge. She was alone which was odd, but I got a glimpse of brown then lost it. Reappeared at 280 yards and the 270 win with 150 partition dropped her right there. Funny thing, I went down and couldn't find her. We looked and looked. I had to go back up the ridge and direct my buddies to her. I was almost 300 yards off.
