Saw one bull saturday afternoon while sitting on a ridge, then mid morning sunday after not seeing anything decided move about a 1/4 mile down to check another canyon, after about 20 minutes 6 elk showed up out of nowhere and were feeding directly towards me. Ended up being around 175 yard shot with 20-25mph crosswind Used Remington 700 .300win mag, Federal 180gr trophy bonded tip (talk about a THUD when it connected) took about 2 steps and piled up.
