Our 2019 Oregon hells canyon elk hunt. I got my mom on her bull opening morning she shot it at 470yards 2 shots with my 30 Sherman with 225 eldm. That was my moms first bull since a spike when she was 17yrs old. And her longest shot. I shot my bull with my custom 270 wsm with 126 hammer hunters at 430 yards one shot Full pass thru. Best part is my good friend, my mom, 2yr old son and wife got to be part of the pack out

that's awesome! That's where my bull came from also. Beautiful country! And those are the best experiences well done!

Thanks. Biggest bull I have killed. If you zoom in on the picture he has what I have been told is called devil tines straight up off the first browtine on both sides. I haven't ever seen that before.

he's a Monster for sure

It was pretty amazing getting to give back to my mom after all she has shown me on hunting. Then to get my son and wife in on it was just amazing. It's amazing country over there

One of the BEST threads started on here in a long time.....
Wanted to elk hunt since the 70's, just never could get away from the farm during the fall season. Thanks for all the pics guys and gals.

I just turned 60 and for my birthday my wife gave me a elk hunt in Montana. Better late than never! It's also a great excuse to get into the best shape of my life. Hope to someday share pictures like you all!
Thanks for the motivation!

I wish you luck on your hunt.

Of course they count. Congrats on you harvest.

I live in a small town in South Mississippi. With that being said I do hope one day I will get a chance to hunt a trophy bull elk. For the guys who live in elk country let's see your 2019 kills.

Where are you at in MS? I'm in Clinton.

Not the biggest bull ever but a heck of a trophy to me. 830 yards 225 ELD-m. One shot put him down in a hurry. Ran about 5 yards then rolled to the bottom. It's hard to tell from that picture but it is super steep where we were.View attachment 165491

That is a huge bull and a rack of a lifetime. I have been hunting elk for 52 years, primarily alone, and have never seen any that big. Congratulations! One question though - how many trips did it take to get the meat, cape, and horns out?

Here's my first archery bull, Sept 2019. Shot at 40 yards, was an absolute rush watching him come right to me.

Ended the season the other day with a tasty calf as well. Bring on 2020!

I took the head and horns out that night. My buddy that was with me when I shot it took the back straps and neck meat. We didn't get back to camp until 2 am and we went back a couple days later and got the rest out in one trip with me and three other guys.
