Sweet bull! Congrats Having the elk show up for you to take some pics is real cool too.

i know how you feel nd hunter i practice out to 700 yards regularly and carry around my caldwel dead shot field pod(which is the best ever created by far) and i shot my buck at 316 this year i was going seriously i was hoping for atleast a 400 yarder but o well i wasnt backing up(

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!
