Oregon elk

[ashersdad]

Filled my Oregon elk tag last week. Didn't get the wallhanger I was hoping for, but when this guy gave me a shot, I decided I better not tempt fate.

This is all that was left after the butchering.

It's not often I don't have to pack elk on my back. This was one of those rare times.

Wow, nice and clean. Like your packer.

Congratulations. The magpies are going to be pissed at you.

Thanks guys. Yeah, it was NE Oregon. I decided that since I had the horses, I was going to get every last bit of meat I could.

My wife thought the ribs were pretty cool. She said it made her feel like Wilma Flintstone.

Great stock material right there if you have a pressure canner.

Incredibly clean carving...holy smokes! Nice shot and congrats on the bull!

 

[MinnesotaHunter]

Nice bull! Anyone ever tried smoking elk ribs?

 

[GKimPrice]

never "NOW" like a good time to try them ! good job and that elk is a "lifetime trophy" to many an elk hunter so don't sell it short ! NICE bull !!

(you shooting Bergers by any chance ?)

 

[ashersdad]

I think we're going to try smoking the ribs on the Traeger.

Nope, not shooting Bergers. Here is a pic of the Federal Nosler Partition I was using. I was pretty happy with it.

Nice shot placement and great butchering prowess. That bull will provide many a delicious meal until next hunting season arrives. I managed to somehow miss two bulls during my OR rifle elk hunt. Congrats once again!
