My first Bull

[roadhunter]

I got my first bull this year in northeastern Oregon on Nov 8th. 658 yards with a 300 grain Sierra out my new 338 Edge. He was bedded uphill away from me and I spined him with one shot (DRT). He's a 7x7 and I think he should score 325 to 330. Definately the bull of a life time for me!

Enjoy,

Doug

Doug, CONGRATULATIONS! That is a heck of a nice bull. You going to get him mounted? What pose? Take a hard look at Joe Coombs pedestal bull manikin!

 

[roadhunter]

Thanks Derek. I'm definately getting him mounted, but not sure what pose yet. I left lots of extra cape so I've been thinking about a wall pedastal. I'll have to check them out.

Nice bull my friend, Nice bull.

I am looking at rifle elk again this year. I have hunted North Central Oregon a few times. Never got lucky though. Well, I mean, never brought home an elk!

I think that the 600+ yard marker is a bit much for my rifle, but I would not hesitate at 500. Still getting it all set up, but should be one heck of a large game rifle.

What unit/area you hunt? I have been fond of Beulah and Hepner. But it has been many seasons since I have been that way.

Again, Congrats!
