I passed this bull up on the opener, for two reasons 1. he was over 700 yard away on a heavily timbered sidehill and was afraid I wouldn't get another shot if I needed one. 2. I promised myself I wouldn't shoot the first bull I seen if it wasn't over 360" and he is under that mark so I passed. the weather was horrible for elk hunting HOT and DRY, the bulls where pretty timbered up. So after days of hiking and glassing and passing other bulls up I decided to go after this bull. I tried to get him out in the open and that just wasn't going to happen so I decided to take the game to him, he was in a heavily timbered drainage with a bunch of cows and a few satelite bulls, but this bull had a unique sound to his bugle and after 8 day it is etched into my mind for ever. it rained during the night, finally so the ground was damp and quiet. so we listened to him until about 9 am sunday morning and then made my move. I moved very slowly down through the quakies and pines to about where I thought he was, inside his comfort zone blew the hyperlip 3 times and there he was. he let out a bugle less than 100 yards away. and up the ridge he came I waited for a clear shooting lane he got within 60 yards slowed to bugle again came clear and I pulled the trigger. he hunch up, turned took about 5 steps and was done! it was a great hunt. Thanks Dad for your help couldn't have done it without you. ~G4

Congrats on a great looking bull!

I love the way that his main beams turn down sharply after his 4th points. I always have loved that look.

I cannot get over the fact you passed the first day on this bull? I shot mine first day with no regrets at all. That is one of the best looking bulls posted. I personally think he has it all.

Good job coming to your senses and putting him in the dirt! ;-)

(You did have other good reasons to pass, but not big enough was not one of them! Ha!)

Thanks guys for all your nice complements... I am very greatful for the chance that I got to harvest on of the most magestic animals on earth...after 18 years of waiting it was all worth every minute and dollar I spent scouting and hunting... he IS a GREAT bull to me, and after all the work that went in to this hunt, it means more to me than can be expressed. Thanks again guys, I quess I now have to start building points toward a big LE buck someday...hopefully not 18 more years of wait for that. ~G4
