Fulfillment of a life long dream! ... Updated with story!
Last night just before dark, I was able to finally get a mature bull. He's not huge, but he's not small either. This was a general tag, not a limited entry hunt. I feel very fortunate and blessed!

Being an easterner I would'nt know a big elk from a baby but that looks like one big elk to me!!!
Congratulations Brian. You've got more horn on that head than all the whitetails put together I've seen in the last twenty years.
I just gotta head west one of these days. You guys get all the fun.

Re: Fulfillment of a life long dream!
I'm so happy I had to share with some other folks, and they've asked me to pass their thoughts on to Brian.

Since we're all pretty much an online family, so to speak, I'll just post it and let you all read what they got to say.
