Nice Utah bull earned the hard way.

Darin has the patience of Job.
He is a long range shooting expert. He waited 33 years to get this elk tag. He had 19 points.
This is a Public land - Draw tag — 2014 is his year.
He shoots long range all the time so that when the chance comes he will be able to take that huge bull. Like often out to 1000 yards.
He hand loads and makes sure everything is perfect.
They get on a little hill and are looking way far in scopes.
They do not find a good enough elk.
Then one starts bugling pretty close. Oh yeah it walks over the ridge and he shoots it at 41 yards.
Glad he practiced all that long range shooting.
Nice bull Darin. I am jealous.

no preference point system in NM don't wait 33 years to get your bull the odds of drawing in a quality hunt unit when applying in the outfitter pool vary from 10-20% but you have the same chance as anyone else and if you don't draw you are only out a $20 application fee charged by the state. and I wont let you take a picture of your trophy bull with a rifle pointed at your head.

I have never drawn New Mexico. applied many times.
I believe in applying there too. This app will remind you to apply.

Darin built the gun himself. I was not there when this picture was taken but whenever I have been with him he is super careful of his muzzle control. He is quite the hunter and if I have it right he has four 350 plus bulls to his name. Maybe the picture is not a good view of it though. Sorry for that.

So confusing, he waited 33 years yet in your second post you say he has 5 elk 350 or bigger. Elk bugling during rifle season? Way far away? Whats the agenda here, this smells fishy.

He waited the years for his limited entry draw utah permit. In Utah there are some rifle rut hunts. Sorry I made things sound fishy.
