Last meal for my most recent harvest. She was super healthy and will do a fine job feeding our folks .

13 cows down on the ranch this year. Early shoulder season ends today and I think we will add a couple more to the tally tonight, if things go well.

Employees of the ranch get most of the early season opportunities. Almost all opportunities go to locals.

Over 200 head in the open, mid day and I didn’t even know you could shoot cows this early…

Here's the deal. Since the "Let's see them" pronghorn thread is one of the most viewed on this site, and most viewed by lurkers, I am thinking we should do the same with elk and show how many elk guys on this site take.

This thread will be a "sticky thread" and be at the top of the Elk Forum, from here on out. It doesn't matter when you shot it, how you shot it, or if you were just the person helping, this is the thread to post elk pictures. No need to post a long story, just a pic and a few notes about the hunt.

Be as specific or vague as you want, as far as location.

Here goes.

2005 - Missouri River Breaks rifle tag. My son's first elk. Most fun I ever had on an elk hunt. We were joined by my brother, Logdawg.

Thanks for doing this. I hope this thread becomes as popular as the pronghorn thread. I know you guys have shot a lot of elk, so post 'em up right here, even if they have previsouly been posted on another thread.

Great Bull!

Son’s first elk…..I was able to call him in from quite a distance away (about 1000 yards). He was looking for love in all the wrong places, I guess.

Pretty good way to start!

This guy (Bruce the Elk) was a bit harder of a hunt than last year's bull.
Reasons:

• He was hard to find after the shot (shit shooting on my part)
• Weather served up a number of torrential downpours
• Moving between 10k-12k is more difficult when you're 13 weeks pregnant

Just wanted to pop in and say hi hunttalk peeps! I know I've been scarce, it's been a bit of a year (re: above). Have some off days next week so throwing myself into grouse hunting. Maybe I'll lurk less and post more during this glorious fall season. Happy hunting to y'all!!

Congrats on the elk and the baby!
