Northern Utah, Cache unit. Opening day/morning buck on Oct. 19th.
Spotted at 600 yards, got to within 180 yards for the shot with my 6.5 Creedmoor. 125 Hammer HHT at 2,920 fps. Slightly angled through the lungs. You can see the entry on the right side in the photo below. Ran 20 yards, flipped over and that was it.
My buddy in Utah just picked up my Euro skull mount this weekend and sent the photo below.

I was truly blessed this year. I went on my first elk hunt in September and was lucky to get a bull with my bow. I came home and filled my 2 buck tags with the rifle buck being my biggest to date. It was also taken with a LPR custom 280ai that @Elk Hunter 338 built me a few years ago. My family, friends and I will be eating good this winter. A year to remember!
Well hell, you may want to take a season or two off now! Great job!!! I still need to get my first bull. Hopefully next year. I use a 280AI as well. Were you happy with the performance on the bull?
Thank you, the bull was taken with a bow. I love the 280ai, my favorite cartridge. Good luck to you and I hope you get a bull next fall.

My youngest daughter killed her first buck deer.
My oldest got her first antelope.

Now that's the ultimate trifecta.

While I cannot top most of those trophies, I can display my version of the ideal Buck pole (concept) in Michigan's UP. Traditional deer camp where I grew up hunting whitetails. Quality has suffered up there but tradition still thrives at our camp. I love my western hunts but will not be anywhere else come Nov. 15th.

Plenty of meat hanging on that pole!
I have read about part's of Michigan getting hit hard with EHD. Looks like your hunt area was spared.

None really ever detected in the Upper Peninsula. Those cases are all in the south part of Michigan. Our (UP) deer herd health is based on winter and wolves.
