Elk .... Let's see them!!!

My son filled his final big game tag for 2025. My 10 year old daughter came along for the hunt and was such a great help! She jumped right in and help hold a leg, hold the knife, grab a game bag, etc. I’m looking forward to many more adventures with these two, and hopefully, their little sister.

The stalk worked perfectly and my son had his choice of 30ish cows. The elk had no idea we were there, even after the shot, until we stood up. If you look over my daughter’s right shoulder, you can see the herd of elk leaving the area.

So much for filling my permit with a monster. I put lots of miles on the boots and tires and I think if the season would have been 3 days longer I could have got on a mature bull. However last day of season meant that rag horns were on the table or for better words in the freezer.

Was fortunate enough to get my 30th bull and 33rd elk over all this year. All but two were from my home state and only one of them was a draw tag. Some were big and some were small, but any bull is a good bull as far as I'm concerned. With more hunting seasons behind me than in front, I appreciate them a little more these days. 1764626756419.png
