Looking back we could of hunted smarter but I was lucky to be in a really good unit. We saw some bigger elk but this guy walked right up to us. I was looking at a bigger elk through the scope looking for a shooting lane (the shot was obstructed by brush), my buddy whispered and pointed at this guy about 50 yards away. He walked right up to us, stopped at 17 yards and began to bulge and didn’t stop. We watched him for a few minutes... I was kind of hoping he would walk away so we could re-position for a shot on a bigger bull so we sat still and waited, my buddy was off to the side and pulled out his phone to take a picture slightly starling the elk. When I saw him get startled I decided to shoot. I had a great shot at 17 yards and I took it. It was the first hunt I or anyone in our group had ever been on for anything. It was an absolutely amazing experience we had quite a few close encounters. Gotta give a shout out to Mr. Newberg before I stumbled on his YouTube channel I dint know elk hunting was even on the table.
