It was the second day of my very first Elk season and my wife and I were getting out of the truck to move to my area and the next thing I remember is hearing "Shoot Him!Shoot Him!".

I looked up and there were two massive bulls standing about 120 yards away from me. I loaded my weapon quickly, fired and shot, a perfect chest shot! The Bull walked about ten yards and fell.

He weighed in over 800lbs and is offically a 5 by 4, but he has three to four points broken off so you do the math. I have also claimed my first antelope with the same Rifle.

Thank you Thompson/Center!
