This time headgear! - 10/28/2006 7:50 PM
My .375-06 JDJ Encore has struck again . After 6 years of harvesting does and cows with a handgun in my hunting spot near Meeker Colorado I finally bagged something with antlers. I missed a doe on Monday with my BFR .475 Linebaugh at 165 yards and in my discouragement I decided to take my .375-06 JDJ Encore out of its cage on Tuesday morning. I pulled the hammer on a 5 point bull at 250 yards plus and spined him with a 270g Barnes Triple Shock. Wednesday I packed him out in four trips for a total of 14 miles with the last trip taking place in a blinding snow storm. One of my 58 year old legs is still pretty darn sore but I'm basking in the satisfaction of finally getting a representative male of the elk species. He is a dandy in my book. He is not a Booner but he is to me. I have him at the taxidermist right now. He is my trophy
