Not much of a story other than a very hard public land hunt. We really lucked out on this one. We jumped him crossing the road with like 5 cows. It was a chinese fire drill. We where headed towards the mountain to walk the base of it and found this guy crssing the road. What freked me out was it took four shots to take him down. Well placed shots too. 2 behind the shoulder 1 in the back and 1 in the neck. One tough elk. That morning we saw like 20 diffrent trucks.
