MT opening day Elk hunt , the swing shift

[mtmuley]

I told @JCS , after going back to back now on bulls in MT , I’m fine if I don’t kill an elk for a while because there’s so much more invested and involved in trying to get one out I think I’m fine for a while …..

Nicely done. Bet you don't feel this way next year on the opener. You will see. mtmuley

My dad is 84 , it’s his last season I’m taking him out Nov 7th - 14 , got a little place rented in the area I want to take him we will see. He’s still in good enough shape to hike some but he needs my eyes and ears and you know I’m hoping I can pull off a miracle and get him on one last elk.

We’ll see I should be rested and recovered by then, but as for next year, I don’t know if I’m gonna go for it or not I’m leaning like I don’t care. Right now

That was the first time I’ve done the gutless method on an elk by myself it sucked , at the end because I didn’t have enough water in my pack. My hands started cramping closed. I was laying down and having to move to different positions to get the last backstrap off and tenderloins out , I was cramping in my legs as well , even though I do a crap ton of Crossfit and I’m in a Elite shape for a 57 year-old dude the lack of water definitely got me…

It might be getting time to take up fishing

I was thinking the same thing. Elk hunting Idaho really seems like the worst thing going

Quite frankly I just want to know what part of Montana has public land elk in places like this. Definitely not the belts
