Raghorn Express!

T Bone · Oct 23, 2016

with my schedule and priorities upside down, I had just a couple days to hunt elk this year....in 70 degree weather.

Opening morning by 8:30 I had 4 raghorns in sight but out of range...couldn't get much closer to close the distance. The smallest bull then started walking directly towards me and stopped at a comfortable 312 yards.

I lined up the shot, and pulled the trigger.

He rubber legged and collapsed.

Perfect example of a Colorado raghorn.

All grins before the multiple trips out in 70 degree weather.

Looks like a full freezer to me! Ya can't eat antlers. They make terrible soup.

My father in law had to do the same thing on the last day first season after getting lucky with only 9 points to get his 61 tag... But a full freezer is what's it all about, congrats!

I know all too well the feeling of a rushed hunt. Truthfully, my reason for speeding through so many of them ends up being work more often than family! It is too easy to get caught up in the speed of life and forget to enjoy the outdoors. I've cut the trip short for myself and others 2 of the last 3 years. This year, I have committed to stay at least 6 days of the 9 day season. Congrats on your bull. Steaks in the freezer, another trophy and a great story.

Rifle is a Win 70 in 270wsm. 150 grn Hornady Interbonds.

I'm still all grins about it.

Congrats on a great bull because any bull looks the same once it's in the freezer.

It's a Leupold 3.5-10x40 with M1 elevation turret. It's simple and consistent.
