Minam unit bull

[elkhunt58]

It was a good season! I was hunting some beautiful country in the Minam Unit, I saw the bull first, and the wind was crossing, I moved into a good position and one shot dropped him at 190 yards (Kimber Montana, .300 WSM, 180gr Federal Trophy Bonded Tip, Leupold VX2, ). Ive never shot a bull in this kind of open space before, what a luxury! My son and son-in-law helped me cut and wrap the meat while we listened to the Duck game. We all know most seasons don't end this way, but this one was sure great. I am thankful to friends, family and the Lord for another great year of hunting.

For those who care... found the bullet under the skin and it weighs 155 grains, so it retained 86% of it's initial weight.

Yes, but not as impressive as the dead elk he got it out of!
