I was down were Bambi and I were a couple days before I wanted to see If we could get a couple pics of the elk the he had shown me.I was very fortunate enough to find a sufeild bull 2 days later.So I got lots of great pics from 60 yards to 200 yards.The pic I am posting is my best one for clarity and it was about 150yards.After I was done playing with the elk mom and I went for a drive not more than 5 minutes we found a herd of antelope. So we did a stock.My mom and I spooked them do to swirling winds and they ran out to 295 yards.I got the bipods down on her gun and she made a prefect shot with here 6mm and here hunt was almost over.As we were dragging it back to the veichle I saw a buck come over the hill.I told my mom to sit down and lift the head of here doe.That buck came right in on a string.I took this pic.This picture does not do it any justice as this buck is at less than 10 yards in this picture.This was and is the best picture I have ever taken.

i still cant believe that bull was right where i saw him 2 days earlier. that just never happens. for you to go back 2 more days later for better pics is unheard of. hard to believe hunting season is in full swing and noone has killed him. he is at least 2 miles from the safety of the base.

Yep that sure is unherd of. My dad had a cow tag last year and never saw an elk.So I sure was happy to see him with you and then see him again and take some steller pics of him.
