Lived mostly my whole live in NY, but been fortunate to live in WA the last 9 years because this is where i have been stationed.  Took this Rag horn 5X4 Elk.... this is our 5th elk in last 3 years.  60 yard shot in the bread basket ran an fell face first in a creek then pretty much drowned himself....  there was 4 of us that tried to drag him out he was well over 800LBS we only had to drag him 250 yards but we couldnt get him up the creek bed whole.... so we just cut him in half and took him out in 2 pieces....
