Very nice elk. I also appreciate seeing a post-kill shot without the animal's tongue sticking out.

Men, thanks for the kind comments. This was my bucket list hunt as well a couple of years ago...still is. I've been on this unguided DIY hunt the last three years on an OTC tag, and am lucky to have came home with 3 bulls. Someone asked score...I'm no official measurer, but I'd put him at 325" or so. Not much of a story. Rifle hunt. 415 yard ranged shot. Had 5 bulls come out in an opening, 2 mature 6x6's I thought, and 3 smaller bulls. I chose to shoot the one with the more curled fronts, the other probably had longer beams. It was a quick decision. Was pleased that he had 7 on one side. I have more pics, but was by myself, so they're all iPhone pics about the same as posted.
