First Elk!

Here is a picture of my first elk on my first elk hunt. Shot him down in New Mexico on the first afternoon of season and it was an awesome day. I had done a lot of practicing shooting my rifle out to longer distances and then ended up shooting him at no more than 50 yards in the aspens. I had lugged the bogpod around all dang day all over the mountain and then used my knee for a rest as it all happened pretty fast. The second picture was taken about 30 minutes after I had shot my bull. I was busy gutting out my bull and heard some elk coming so I grabbed the camera and it turned out to be a cool picture. Now I have to wait a whole year to try it again!

Beautiful bull NDHunter! Congratulations. I'm envious, I've never hunted elk myself but when I do, a bull like that one would suit me just fine!

Congrats Vince!! I am envious! That's a great bull!

Nice bull! Congratulations! What unit did you harvest him in?

Great job! The only problem is, now you have been bitten by the wapiti bug.

Yup, very nice bull indeed. Congrats.
