Frank Stiens had only been living in Wyoming a short time when hunting season rolled around. He questioned his buddies at work about places to hunt, but with the unit being 80% private land, his buddies could not afford to give up any of their hotspots.
So, with his trusty old Marlin 30-30 in hand, Frank hit the hills hard. Day after day brought the same...no elk.
Franks luck changed on the second weekend. While glassing the snow-covered slopes, Frank spotted a group of elk and took off. After closing the distance on the herd, he spotted this dandy bull feeding just inside the treeline and made a single shot that downed the bull.
