Colorado Elk Success

Nice looking bull. Sure beats the spikes that I have taken! Welcome from SE Missouri.

Well, I thought I was the first person to shoot this bull but found a few “extras” when processing the meat. Along with the remains of my 460gr NE bullet, we found a lead pellet and 4 steel BBs under the skin! Must’ve been raking some trees in someone’s back yard…View attachment 37840

Hilarious even though illegal. I shot a Minnesta bear several years ago that was aged at 17 years, second oldest ever taken in this state. While processing the fat I found five different sizes of shot lodged in the fat across her backside and rumps.

Awesome is too mild a word to describe that huge bull. Welcome from Maine.

Close to town? Looks like someone may have been trying to run him out of their alfalfa.
