Had a buddy who's daughter won a tag at a banquet but did not end up filling her tag. Congratulations on a great KY bull. Seen some nice bulls taken up there.

I think they have had at least a very limited season since the early 2000's

Well I filled my MT tag on opening day, and also helped a friend tag his first elk. Both were shot minutes after legal shooting light and only 100 yards apart. It was pretty cool, I will post the full story later.

Crazy impressive Montana Bulls....

Montana, now I know who you run with! Justin is a great guy! Is Dave at Judith River Taxidermy doing your bull? He did my 2014 buck and he's doing my sons 2015 buck congrats on your great bull!

I wish those were my bulls.... I was just saying how impressive they were for being harvested in Montana

 

[sneakypete]

OPPS, both were taken on public land !

We have had a season for 12-14 years. KDFWR started releasing elk around 1996-97 and did so for 3 years. Our fish and wildlife trapped them in several states out west and released them in the 16 counties in the far eastern end of the state. Its quota only with the exception of a few tags that get donated to different fundraisers. After applying every year since the beginning I drew a cow tag this year. That hunt starts this Saturday.

That's a great bull and the bike trailer is really cool! I'm a welder and often thought of doing that exact setup! Obama would be proud you took a bull and you did it with climate change in mind LOL

funny, climate change had nothing to do with it. getting away from those dam 4 wheelers is more like it. lol

And I thought I had the elk hunting bug before. Congratulations to all who posted. Maybe there should be a Nonresident thread that has pictures and how many preference points it took to draw the hunt. Kinda giving hope to the people who live in the east who are just starting to hunt the western states. Hopefully hunting Colorado for elk in 2017.
