My son got to harvest his first bull elk yesterday in Washington state. Main frame 6 point with an extra point on an eye guard. Shot was 578 yards, 300 win mag with 210 Berger hunting vld. I found this bull in September with his ladies, he was still in this area in October but had lost 7 ladies. My son actually spotted him yesterday slipping back in and was the only elk spotted. He was headed back to his bedding area that I had watched him previous times. His first shot went high above shoulder as he slightly quartered to us , his second shot took him low in the chest. The bull slid down hill not feeling well fell down but regained his footing. I told my son get another in him and his angle was the back end was all , so boom he broke the bulls hip. The bull slid down and lodged himself behind the tree . Got to the bull at 915 am and last load was in truck by 721 pm. It was a stellar and brutal day.
