Got my elk

Post by MTWillie » Thu Nov 04, 2010 4:37 pm

While he's MUCH smaller than the one I had my crosshairs on during opening day, he's a healthy bull with lots of good meat.

He's got some goofy brows going on...good thing his right one ended up being 4.6" long. [-o<

Also, if you were wondering why there are no bullet holes in the body...it's because I shot him in the head. Which is why you only see the plate and antlers.

I don't usually aim for the head, but with where we were, and how long it would have taken to get him out had he ran anywhere, I had to take it.
