Thanks for the thoughts. I realize that those bulls are hard to find. Hell, ive hunted my whole life and never seen a bull like those during any hunting season. My hopes for this hunt are simple..... Have a good hunt in a good unit where its POSSIBLE to kill a bull like those. I could have held out for who knows how many years and pulled a "better" tag i suppose. But im an elk hunter im not in the points game to draw points. Im in it to hunt. I may shoot a smaller bull or not shoot one at all, who knows. But at least this summer im thinking about the big guys! Congrats to you and your partner. Im sure you had a good time! Thanks again for the reply.
