So that bull in front is considered a big one or average? Just trying to gauge what the typical size bull shot would be.

About avg. maybe a little heavy. 300 Win Mag is my choice for elk, a little heavier than my old 30.06 to carry, but I do not walk near as far anymore.

Funny story there......My brother and I once owned the tow service in Meacham Oregon. Meacham is at the top of the Blue Mountains on I-84 just above Deadman's Pass. My brother lived at Meacham and I lived in Pendleton at the bottom of the mountain. We get flooded by hunters from the west side of the state every hunting season about a week before the season opens.
We would spend a lot of time in the local bars where we would be "pumped" by all the new influx of hunters. So for 4-5 years we told them of the herd of elk in Dark Canyon, and how if they would start at the top of the canyon and head downhill the elk would be comming up the canyon.......
Meanwhile my brother and myself and a couple of friends would wait at the mouth of the canyon and pick our shots, drag the elk over to where the pickups where, load them up, and be home before noon........
Mostly we pack them out.............
