Awsome. What was the distance? More hunt details - if you are so inclined.
330" B & C? Really nice Bull regardless. Still hoping for a Bull Elk tag here in KY someday.
Got-R-Did.
The bull did tape at about 330" B&C. He was with three cows and when we spotted him, he was heading west across an alfalfa field. There was a shelter belt between the bull and us so we ran down to the end of the shelter belt and waited for him to come out which would have made a 75 yard shot. He must have winded us and took off running quartering away. The first shot knocked him down and the second went through his lungs. I put one more through his lungs once he was down. It was a great experience and I was thankful for the opportunity. I have hunted elk five times and this is my first bull and the only one I will be able to harvest in Nebraska.
SOM;
Great bull no matter which state you shot him in. I've hunted elk for fifty years and taken a bunch of them, but still haven't taken one that big.
Congratulations on a truly great bull.
BIG OR SMALL I LIKE THEM ALL, 577 TO 22 HORNET.

Thank you for the hunting details & photo.
Amazing a plain old 30-06 can still stop a bull elk.

You know those alfalfa fed elk taste way better than the others.
Mmmmmmm...... I can smell them steaks cooking already!!!!
I came into this world kicking, screaming, and covered in someone elses blood. I plan to go out the same way.
Thank you for all of the kind comments! I wish everyone success this hunting season!
Truly a hunt and trophy of a lifetime, congrats! Hunting season not even started for some of us, where do you go from here? Wow!

Very nice, I am hoping for at least something with an antler this year for my bull tag....if I punched my tag on one like that I dont know know what I would do.
