My Dad has had one for as long as I can remember and he still uses it. I keep telling him to send it back to have it sharpened. He just says, "what for"!
I will be getting one this year because I like the new ones with the orange handle. I have been using the knives of Alaska and really love...
I saw a guy take this shot this year on a bull elk and it sounded like it hit a tree. The bull ran off with the arrow, found brite blood for about 75 yards till it started up hill. Then lost the trail and never recovered it. He was shooting a 70# bow with Muzzies. It's not a good percentage...
I just purchased the 100grn G5's along with the practice heads. I had them shooting with my field points with in 1/2hr. Once they are dialed in "wow" they shoot together. I already broke a nock and shipped one the practice blades because they group so well.
I think I like them
Good luck...
This happened to my hunting partner with his last two bulls. The first one was a high hit and broke the spine to where the bull could not use its hind legs at all. He was not bleeding out very fast and would have probably stayed alive for quite a while. Luckily my partner was not to far and was...
Well, it looks like I will be doing a lot of driving, camping and scouting this summer. I should know the state pretty well by the end of the late season My kids wanted to start camping more anyway...heeheehee.
I'm already learning where all the soccer fields are in the state :-D
Anyway...
Thanks for the input fellow WA hunters
Another question about two of the units I was talking about, the packwood and the Lewis river. Do the elk seem to be spread around or are they more towards Mt. St Helens or in the direction of the indian reservation?
Raybow, where is the Nassel? Is...
Hello all,
I have posted for help before in Washington and received some good advise concerning hunting the Olympics (thanks Raybow). I would love to check it out more there but my Father will be coming to archery hunt with me and I know the coastal range can be quite up and down...not...
I think most of us hunt because we love the outdoors and enjoy the challenge presented by the game that we seek. I would feel more proud of a spike bull or cow that I had to track and put a sneak on than any animal I could ever shoot behind a tall fence.
Not to put it down so much, everyone has...
It all sounds good to me Can't wait to try it out for size....
The pictures are great for the first part of the chore. The rest, I will have to go with the flow and see how good I am with my knife.
Good point about to much meat in a bag during the warm season!!
Thanks a bunch for the...
Thanks Elkchsr,
I figured it wouldn't be difficult. I didn't know if there were any tricks to it to save as much meat a possible.
I guess I'll just have to give a try and see what happens.

Hey all,
For the last five years I've hunted in areas where we only had to quarter our elk and pack it no more the 150 yds or so before we could get to it by atv or horse.
Next year may be different, we (or I) could be in an area where there is not access other then on foot (we will not have...
Elkhunter,
Got to love this day to day update!!! Must have been the heat that made you forget where the elk dinner came from
So now who is the brush beater (quide) and who is the hunter?

Gar Man,
They move onto private land!!! At least in Colorado the do
You are correct on all three. Elk have no problem moving long distances during the night. So they will move down to deep dark nasty places where the ground in moist and cool. Or they will move up high where the air is...

If this is your fist hunt and you or anyone you are hunting with is lucky enough to take one of these magnificent animals. You will be hooked for life once you see one up close.
The fist time I saw one on the ground I just stood there with my mouth open. They are so impressive (as well...
