    Awesome Bull and the story telling really did it justice! I know from experience that yes they sure can eat up lead even in the lungs. Your presreverance was epic and paid off HUGE.. haha. Great job. Curious to know who is looking after the taxi work for you

    Maybe that's the problem, no lead in them bullets
    Curious CH what ttsx were you running? Did you retrieve any of them? How did the lungs look? Elk are imo the toughest ungulate, and the Rosie's even more so, but to keep on trucking with 4 in the engine compartment and one in the filter is not great performance out a bullet imo. What ever happened to bullet+lung=dead HA. Long live lead core
    The only advantage to a light rifle is it's weight, all other advantages go to the heavier rifle..

    That is the most impressive bull ever posted here. And that's saying something as others in the past have posted some beauties!

    Congrats on persevering and your buddies too.

    Great share, awesome pics and story. Thanks....

    Well, a bunch of other have already said it but I'll say it again. WOW!!
    An absolutely fantastic bull and a story to match. Congrats and good on you. You certainly earned that bull.
    Thanks a lot for posting and giving this site a good kick in the ass. This is what hunting and hunting forums are about.
