Buzz and Jeff: Another Wyoming elk hunt!

[JM77]

Buzz and I decided to checkout some beautiful Wyoming landscapes today and try to fill some elk tags with our 7 mags. He promised me if there was a collared cow I could shoot it as long as I didn't post teaser pictures!

But right now I'm very tired after a long day and will get back to this tomorrow, after travel, work, church, dinner and football. And maybe not in that order...

No teasing hairy leg pics?

The only way today could have been more fun, is if you would have come along Kurt!

I’ve heard of the timber tug but what do you all call it out in the windy plains of Wyoming?

The plains pull, flatland flog, prairie drag?

Haha looking forward to hearing about the hunt!

So, when is football over?

The story of this hunt begins with the now famous "collared" elk that Buzz harvested on Friday. He called me on his way home to rub it in that while I hunted the same area about a week earlier and was unsuccessful, he went there and notched a tag. Not fair, I told him, I found elk, but they were 3 miles away and I have a serious left knee problem. Of course that garnered no sympathy. "Stop your whining" Buzz said, "Did you want to go hunting tomorrow? I'll even let you shoot first."
So while we were discussing, I checking the weather and it appeared that slightly less than gail force winds were predicted for Saturday, so I said "why not?".

A plan was formulated and I knew that in the morning I would wait for Buzz at the highway turn-off. No more Indy 500 races to make me sick. The next morning I would be at the top of my game!

Can you talk about why the REM Mag vs the 7 HT? I’m glad to hear it was the cartridge of choice.
