18 1/2 hr. elk hunt

[dexnrex]

Left home at 5 a.m. Thrursday shot this guy at 12:30, boned and packed him out and home by 11:30 p.m. Was going to be a 3 day hunt, but worked on Friday so I could save a day of vacation for another hunt. Every once in a while it all just comes together. I just wish I would have had that vintage red backpack I used in Alaska. I was stuck using my Cabela's packframe.

I had planned to hold out for a real big bull, but I just can't walk away from herd with this kind of bull. I asked Breaks Runner if he would hunt with me next year. I'll carry my bow he can carry my quiver and give an arrow only when we see that 350+ bull.

Awesome Elk - nothing wrong with having a itchy trigger finger on something like that....

Congrats on an efficient season so far !!

 

[Horn Seeker]

He'll never walk in front of me withut getting a poke.... and if Breaks Runner has my quiver, he better be Running, because I'm comin for an arrow! :0)

Really nice bull, I'll echo some of the others comments, that bull would never get a pass from me. Congrats.
