Ben Smith writes, "On the third day of the Montana elk season, my friend Jake and I went for a hike into our secret honeyhole drainage where earlier in bow season I had encountered a lot of bulls, including the one I harvested.
After a couple of miles of straight up and down hiking, we came upon a herd of bulls and cows. There was three smaller four point bulls and the nice big 5x5 feeding, so I found the nearest jackpine to rest off of and leveled off and dropped the biggest bull in his tracks with my 270 at about 325 yards. It took us until after dark to drag this heavy bodied bull back to the truck."
