Never even see one that big yet (that was still alive)! That is just awesome!

Those pictures are great! IMO that embodies the essence of hunting, can't wait to get my kids out to hunt when they are old enough. Do you do a lot of reloading?

This is GREAT advice everyone. Clearly the common theme (and I whole heartedly agree) is practice. The scope I have right now is a Bushnell DOA 600. I would like to get a Nikon Monarch (opinons?). Agian, this rifle is more for hunting than anything. I feel more comfortable with MOA vs Mil Dot etc. I am still so new to this that I am still trying comprehend the math. I will be going out in a few weeks to set out some trail cams in 6A to get ready for Oct. hunt and will be sighting my rifle in then. Also bought a Hornady Lock N Load Reloader and hope to reload a few to shoot off that at that time.

Personally I have never elk hunted in 23 however my wife's uncle lives close too and spends a lot of time in this unit. He is always telling me that the North East portion of the unit produces some monsters that only venture out of the canyons just before dark. I would agree that scouting the canyons would be best and probably why it is such a tough hunt. I don't have pictures but this same uncle harvested a 330" bull out of that unit in that general area. He is pretty open about supporting the hunting experience for others. I'll see if I can get some specifics to you. Good luck!

Yes its an Early Rifle Bull Tag. I am pretty pumped about it. Trying to decided where to start scouting along with getting this rifle ready and sighted in.

Thanks for the heads up. I will give him a call!

What series? ADL, BDL, CDL, SPS etc

Congrats on the tags! I love the unit and I am sure you'll all have fun. Can't wait until I can take my girls hunting with me.

Drew a 6A early rifle bull tag and my father drew the 6A late hunt bull hunt. Niece and 2 nephews drew 6A jr cow tags (this will be their first hunts) and we are hoping to give them a wonderful hunt and pass on the tradition. Any advice for good areas to scout etc would be much appreciated! Good luck to everyone else here!
