Great year so far. Got this guy on opening morning at 633yds with my 338 Edge. The 300gr smk worked great. It went through the ribs, heart, lungs and stopped inside the hide on the opposite side. I will have to take a picture of the bullet. It did a great job. It surprised me though, that he didn't drop straight down. He walked about 20 ft, like I never hit him and fell down behind some trees. It scared me to death thinking I had missed him at that range, after shooting very consistently at 900yds 2 days before to get ready.

Thanks Skinney. Not a monster, but a nice mature bull. I wish I had time to film it.
 
Re: Elk Hunt 2011

Thanks guys. It was a blast. All that practice and hundreds of rounds throughout the year paid off.

We have 4 freezers with only top racks so I can hang the meat at 40f for 10-14 days. Get a little mold layer and then cut it up
