Four bearded fools on a Blue Ribbon adventure

Happy for you, brother! Thanks for sharing it.

Well done Jason! There is no chest thumping when the animal drops. There is a lot when that last load lands on the tailgate.
It's the pack out that weeds out the flatlanders.

I love that country.

 

[Summitthunting]

Well done, I might just have to crack open a PBR and think about the elk woods.

You sure earn the privilege to hunt the rut with a rifle there. No doubt about it.

Way to get it done in likely the lowest density elk zone in the state, awesome!

 

[JEL]

Pretty dang good! Not too sure about the PBR though.

 

[Gerald Martin]

Awesome write-up. I read through faster than the pics would load and it was all vivid in my imagination. I look forward to going back and seeing the pics.

Some historical elk country worthy of a hard earned elk.
Congratulations on the experience

 

[Durango Mike]

Terrific story, had a Drathaar for many years, can't think of a better companion for a hunt like you had!

 

[BuzzH]

Well done...as usual.

Those velvet spikes are tough to beat for the freezer. Have to see what happens, I may try to follow your lead this fall on one.

Great pics and story. Congrats way to stay with it!

Great trip report Jason.
Good times with meat in the freezer.

 

[MThuntr]

congrats Jason.

looks like you're running those 280ai on the hot end too

 

[Crimeny]

Great story, thanks. I can't for the life of me figure out how people process elk that fast. I take forever.

It’s a standard .280 Remmy. 136 grain Hammers at 3100. It’s warm for sure.

Job well done in some big country. I figure you hunt elk in places like that just to prep yourself for chasing red legs later in the year.

Every day is a training day, except today. Today is a recovery/clean gear/ have a beer day
