Got a hot tip about a sweet place to hunt elk in the high alpine.

My llama outfitter decided that 2021 seemed like a perfect time to 2x+ his llama prices so I decided to make poor decisions without any four legged companions.

Arrive at the trail... hmmm

Looks...cold

Hooked like a 3 for 1 happy hour...

Pro tip- Don't take advice from archery hunters. For March September is a green, muddy month. Some folks like it. City slickers mostly.


We bailed on that spot and moved onto spot two.

Not sure what it's like in Minnesota but this is not proper trailhead parking etiquette

A freezer in the snow?

 

[Deleted member 28227]

So we moved spots.


And screwed up a stalk on a nice bull


He ran up a hill... and 50ft passed our rig, down onto private

That first spot....

I can't believe you left the truck. Your inner Mass'hole must have been craving some mountain punishment. Masochist.

Sea

 

[kiwi hunter]

yes well, but its only for a few days and the outdoors is unbeatable

Bro.

All smiles threw our epic and arduous 15 min pack out.

Broken links for the pics we need to see? Absolutely devastating!

 

[Jwill]

Gotta love those EE tags!

You know you're part house cat right?

Congrats. Love it! We gotta take an easy elk when the opportunity presents itself. And I enjoyed the write-up. It’s similar to your pack-out. Succinct and enjoyable.

 

[cahunter805]

Congrats! You must have harnessed your inner Midwesterner on this trip and got it done!
The loaded van is awesome!

 

[TakeABreakAndTouchGrass]

I used to want to go hunting with you, but then you post those first few pictures.....

Yeah I really wanted one of those high alpine elk...

 

[3855WIN]

What? No elk stuffed in a Carolla?

 

[Irrelevant]

Yeah I really wanted one of those high alpine elk...

Sure... but com'on man. I saw that first pic was like well that's out. Then you still went up there! Then you didn't even ski down!

 

[jvanhoy]

Epic stuff! Love the van and the meadow of dreams!

 

[MTLabrador]

Excellent. The meadow sit is exactly how I want my opening day to go. I’ve already taken enough of a beating this week, not sure how badly I want to pack one out of a hellhole.
