On opening day of the Cascade Elk season in OR, my buddy and I both got our elk. He took a nice 5x6 that weighed ~380 dressed and on the meat hook. Mine was a nice 5x5 that weighed in at ~350 on the meat hook. It was opening morning about 7:45 when a herd of 20 or so came throuh the clearing that I was sitting in. I scanned the line of cows looking for antlers and shot the first set I saw. I was using a 338 win mag with a 250gr nosler partition. The bull dropped where he stood. About 10 seconds later I heard 2 shots from over the top of the hill where my buddy was sitting. He then radioed me that he too had taken a bull.

great job on the elk. not to many people score during that particular hunt so you bucked the odds immensely. what area of the cascades did you hunt?
