Here is a couple pics of my 2006 Idaho elk. Public land, DIY. 6 x6 but one side is broken up pretty good. If I remember right there is something like 8 points that are broken, total.
It was my last hike of what had turned into one of the wettest days we had last fall. I made a huge loop through a large brush patch and on my way back to the truck, he stood up with 3 or 4 cows. After I shot him I walked up to where he dropped and I was less than 150 yards from my pickup. Those elk had laid there while I parked, got my stuff on, and had to watch me walk off. Had I not been walking right into them I believe they would have never stood up and I would have never seen them. Amazing what can hide in 6 foot tall sage.
Thanks for looking.
Never posted pics before, hope they show up.
