Kellya, no I didn't post a story on the hunt. Just got back Sunday night.
As far as the story goes, I would like to say I scouted the area for weeks and stalked for days...
I was very fortunate to get this animal as I only had a limited time to hunt. We were driving into a logged off area, and stopped to check the area over thouroughly. When we thought we would move on, we turned the truck around and as we were pointing straight in to the logging slash this bad boy stood up. Was all by himself at about 240 yards. He is definately a mature bull and my first elk.
I personally had not been out hunting for about 4 years, kids, family etc. Looking like I am definately going to get back into it again. The day prior, I got a chubby spike buck as well in the same area.
