I was fortunate once again to tag along on a late elk hunt in our home state of Nevada. My buddy Travis was the lucky tag holder this time. Travis made a few trips to look around over the summer more for fun than anything as our group knows the unit very well.
Opening morning found myself and another friend Trey glassing from a high vantage point while Travis and his brother Jason would stay lower making it quicker for them to get into position should we spot a bull to go after. Within 30 mins we had 8 bulls spotted but mostly small 6's and raghorns. Jason called me over the radio and said they had a solid bull located in their direction.I put the spotter on him and even at 2+ miles I could see he was a GOOD bull . It took them about 30 mins to get into position as the bull fed in the trees with a smaller bull. Travis made true with his shots and put his first bull on the ground.
We measured Travis's bull at 356 inches with 21 and 22 inch swords. The last picture I included of myself with the bull to show just how long those swords really are.
