Back from WY

Just got back from Wyoming. Had a great time and my dad had a successful hunt.
The area that we went to is know for having tons of trophy elk so I promised him I wouldn't let him shoot on the first day. When we got out there the rancher whose land we hunted on said he had seen very few elk and no good bulls. On the second hunt of the first day, I spotted three nice six by six bulls and due to what the rancher told us, had to break my promise and made my dad shoot. He dropped the biggest one where is was standing at about 400 yds. It wasn't quite the trophy he hoped for but is a really nice bull, regardless. I guess that it will gross 285-290. Probably will net around 270pts.
We had a great time, though, and saw lots of other wild life. Saw so many whitetails that I don't want to see another one for a little while!
