Bull elk @1302 yards....

[goodgrouper]

Thanks Shawn. You had a part in building the thunder too so it should be known that I am thankful to you as well. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

[goodgrouper]

Thanks for lighting up the pic Eaglet. I was hoping you were going to work your magic on that one. FOr some reason, my camera didn't flash on that pic.

 

[goodgrouper]

No, not converting to metric. That is just the yardage my bullet hits at with it being 3" high at 100 yards.

The bull will probably go about 335"-345".

 

[goodgrouper]

If I remember correctly, the bullet had a little over 1500 ft/lbs upon impact. I would run it on my computer right now to give you an exact answer but it is charging right now. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Yeah, for awhile I thought those bears were headed straight for 7mmrhb. They must have changed their mind about eating him when they got a whiff of spinach!!

Thanks. Yes we had a body. Lots of body. About 700 pounds of it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif


Here is a pic of the gun:

 

[goodgrouper]

He is 335-345" bull gross. He is 50" wide. There are bigger ones in this unit but not on this mountain. We had a late season bull hunt last fall that really knocked out some 360-390" bulls hard.

 

[goodgrouper]

You guessed it! It was the first big face north of Crowd canyon just below Spanish Fork peak. In the pic, you can see the top of Crowd canyon just to the right.

I had either forgotten or just realized you are a southpaw.
Good to know there is another lefty on the forum.
You must have some good conditioning to be hauling all that weight. Makes it more fun when you are in good condition. Beautiful rig and thanks for helping a fellow hunter make an amazing shot and great bull to boot.
Good to see all the team effort. It is defintely the best and most enjoyable way to do it.

How about a few details on the Thunder. Looks like one bad boy. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

To all who have responded and to those who will:

Thank you for your kind words. I hope it was a post that was as fun to read as it was to be in the hunt.

Since there were and will probably be many more questions, I will try to answer each briefly.

Thanks again. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

GG,

Were you able to recover the 225 gr AB?
