It's day 1 of your 5 day elk hunt and this bull comes in on your evening set up.
Any weapon of choice...
Winds are good....


Are you shooting or is he getting the pass?
Is there a different answer whether it's an OTC unit or limited entry?
 
I would. Simply because I've never even seen an Elk while hunting and it's one of my next big goals. Too easy.. for me anyways.  :mg:
 
Looks like he read the script, he presented so many shot opportunities.  He would be taking a ride back to MO if it were me!
 
Dead bull unless I had dropped a bunch of preference points on the hunt or I drew a tag for somewhere like New Mexico.

Ironically this is New Mexico.... but there were definitely bigger boys out there ;)

I figured that was the case. If that was the situation, I'd take my chances and hold off shooting, just like you did there  :-D

lol I don't had that much will power... I had killed a fat cow the day prior to this.... so of course this would happen.  :haha:
 
I am shooting, with four days left in a 5 day hunt, better to be safe than sorry and elk steaks taste better than tag soup. I live in Montana, you never know what the weather may bring in those next 4 days also.
 
I would put him down with no regrets.  Plenty of time to get him out and then video, just like you did. :)
 
I would shoot with a smile on my face. Our freezer is normally getting pretty low on game meat by elk season. I never go elk hunting alone, so I would enjoy being able to help the others tag out and enjoy camp. The only exception would be if it was a drawn tag using preference points that had taken years to get!
