The 300-inch Bull Elk from Gila

I've called in quite a few bulls for other people that have scored 250 to 300 inches. My hunting buddy, Dean Sanchez, and I were hunting the Gila National Forest. Dean had an elk tag and I didn’t, so I called for him.

Troy Grogan’s Long Shot Bull Elk

In 2015, I drew a limited entry elk tag in Utah in the Manti-La Sal National Forest. This is the area where I grew up, and where I hunted most of my life. We knew all the roads there, and where the bulls usually hung out. This hunt was at the end of August when the elk weren’t bugling very much, but we had heard this elk bugle. I decided to go check him out

Brandon Wicks and the Bull Elk That Almost Got Away

The weather was super, super hot, and the elk weren’t bugling. I was hunting over a spring, and I found a spot that would provide cover for me if an elk came in to drink. Many times when I'm hunting over springs, the elk don’t come in to water until just before dark. However, I always try to go in early to the spot I'm planning to hunt, because I don’t want to spook any
