Well it's taken me 30 years of hard hunting to finally crack the 350 mark. I was fortunate enough to do it this year when I drew a tag in a special draw area that I lease for deer hunting. I kill 2-3 bulls every year with a client but this year it was my turn. Opening week came with a huge arctic storm that brought lots of snow and cold weather to MT. Over 300 + elk showed up on our property and I had my pick. Passed up over 30 six and seven point bulls looking for the next level. My wife Niki thought I was crazy until one morning when she actually spotted this bull and said "OK I really think you should look at this one". I did alright......thru my rifle scope.
He's got a 57" main beam with the outside spread at 51" Scored in at 360ish. Hey, Let's see some other Bulls. Elk or Moose!

Bob in TX,

I think I'm dangerous with this computer. How in the world did my deer end up on your post?

Keith,

I posted the picture for you before you edited your post to get the picture back in. I was trying to give you a hand.

Congrats Again,

Bob

Thanks. I shot the deer in Sonora, Mexico in 97. I put the details and pic on the post "Whats your biggest buck"? Was having a bit of trouble getting my elk on and in the mean time Bob in TX lent a hand and put my deer on here. Nothing like double exposure!

C-7,

NICE BULLS!!!!! South Central MT. is a happening place

Keith,

I see you got the elk in there!! What a great bull!!

Bob

Son of a ... I don't know which animal to look at first.

Man, that is an Elk. Nothing like breaking that personal record.

I will not even comment on that Mule Deer ... he needs no comment.

Wow, that is nice.

Well done Keith, very well done.

Chris, dang, those are huge Elk too!

Is jealousy one of the 7 deadly sins?

Nice trophys guys!!

Guys,
congratulations on your bulls!!!!!!! Very Well Done

congratulations .....really hugh bulls.
We do have no elks here, but the smaller ones.The Reds, which already are big .
I think you need a couple of time to get all this meat out of the bush
How much are they, by weight? 300KG and up?
You will get some nice kg as steaks

Is it possible to hunt on an elk as a non resident hunter from overseas?
Or do i have to book such a hunt by an outfitter?

All th ebest and nice X-MAS

Keith, nice bull!

I blew an excellent chance on a big bull... located him in a high meadow. Hiked up to find an ambush site thinking he'd bed well away from the meadow... wrong! He was bedded about fifteen feet off the meadow... dimwit! Well, I'm a smarter hunter now... took a cow the last day of the season.

C7, I think my good friend G.B. guided you on at least one of those bulls?.? They are beauties.

konst: Some Canadian provinces require a non-resident to use a guide, but most states in the U.S. allow you to hunt on your own. There is a myriad of individual state laws, regulations, seasons, and application deadlines, so unless you know exactly where and when you intend to hunt, you are probably better off going through an outfitter.

A lot of outfitters participate here on AR, and I'm sure one of them would be glad to visit with you about it.

The depth of my jealousy is an abyss I can not bear to peer into...... Y'all go to hell
