After 3 first elk rifle seasons and 1 2nd rifle deer season finally killed an animal with a high-powered rifle :7. Got there 9 days before the season and only saw 1 calf on brushy from long point, 1 cow on long point from brushy. Once the season started this is the only elk I saw or jumped. I guess you only need to see 1 right?
Was told the bow hunters had run most of them into the low country juniper-pinyon but I just can't bring myself yet to hunt that stuff.
Long range shot--55yards.
Long range gun--Rem model 700 classic 300 Savage.
Score--176&7/8, hey that's Boone and Crocket for whitetail .
Shot placement--back of the neck just below the skull.
Distance traveled about 30 inches---straight down.
