Elk wounding question
I will apologize for the length of the setup in the question but I think germane to the question. Short version is I had a dozen elk come by me Thursday that were shot out lower on the mountain (I found out after). I was on my way back to the truck when I heard elk up and to the right of me and... -

GoHunt vs. OnX
Interesting and great conversation. I've had OnX for years and love it. I also got GoHunt 2 weeks ago to truly compare and see if worth the research options. Gives me a year to figure out. Interesting dichotomy - you need the research to figure out what unit(s) to hunt (point GoHunt) but you...- TNHUNTER

Elk tenderness
CWD is the issue - not allowed to bring in any meat with bones or brain. Slightly ironic as we already have it in west TN but do understand why it was put in place. Suppose I could try to leave in a tree if cool, debone after a few days and process at home. I do agree the proper cutting...- TNHUNTER

Elk tenderness
Makes sense - can't bring meat with bones/brain into TN so meat will have to be de-boned one way or another before bringing home.- TNHUNTER

Elk tenderness
Great responses - thank you. Traveling from TN out west it becomes a bit harder to age ( or at least coordinate). From what I’ve seen processors are very busy and don’t have time to age meat (I don’t really blame them) so you have to put some age on the meat before the meat is processed?? I’d...- TNHUNTER

Elk tenderness
I've seen some posts around elk flavor recommendations but not seen any about elk tenderness (may have missed them). Any specific recommendations on best way to assist meat tenderness in the field or shortly after the shot? I assume some of the better recommendations for meat care may assist in...- TNHUNTER

Explorer or F150 WY Red Desert
Both are 4 wheel drive. Truck is bigger and heavier and Explorer gets much better gas mileage but enclosed. Explorer definitely has the better ride. Unless there are a lot of areas with wash out sounds like the Explorer may be sufficient. Thanks for the responses...
