This particular bull keeps clouding out my mind.
I think im going to hunt for him exclusively. Something keeps telling me I need to hold out for this one.

He's is a very impressive 5

goosefreak, you have done what very few have ever been able to. If I were you, I would be very tight lipped. Congrats on turning these bulls up, and if you ever need help on a packout, Im your man

Oh, believe me. If anyone is tight lipped it’s ol goosefreak! I’ve hunted this area for 10+ years and over that time me and my buddy have killed some spikes, and some rag horns and a small 5. Unfortunately over that time period we have lost a bull or 2 that would break the 300+ mark. Makes me sick but, it happens...

It’s taken several years to learn how these elk behave in this area but, we have got it figured. They don’t really come into mineral licks that we set out although they will get into them when passing by, aside from 2 seeps up there, all the elk just wander around. There are several dense areas in there and these elk move from one to the next in a circle. Hunting those particular travel routes are going to start paying off a little more in the years to come..

Beautiful bulls! Any bull at all on a general tag is a trophy. Finding that big 5 and taking him home would be the story of a lifetime. I wish you the best of luck.

After staring at these trail cam pic's, particularly this big 5x and having conversed about him over and over, it seems like the right thing to do to call him "big 5"

so, this hunt I will be focusing on big 5. However, if I come across one of the 6x's on my camera I will without a doubt run an arrow through one..............
