LAST EDITED ON Nov-29-11 AT 11:17AM (MST)[p]Got this 6X6 on my first elk hunt ever! It was a fun father-daughter weekend in Fort Peck, Montana. Hiked for two hours without seeing anything before spotting a cow quite a ways away on the next ridge. Decided to get closer to check it out. Took us nearly 45 minutes to hike up and down steep slopes and through a creek to get there. When we got there all we saw was one cow and a spike. The cow heard us and took off. The next time we saw them was at 600 yards. After the spike, 4 cows, and a calf came up on the hillside I finally spotted this guy. We snuck up a little closer. All it took was one shot through the heart at 326 yards and my deep freezer is full!
