Tailgate Pics

When you kill an elk on farmed ground, you don’t leave guts in the field…
Good advice for other hunters. If you leave the guts on a field coyotes and birds will clean them up fast, but other animals will smell the blood and paw the ground, Any seed or crop that is there can get pawed right out of the ground.

Would apply maybe for winter wheat. We have left dozens of gut piles in ag fields antelope hunting. Just don't shoot a lead cow. mtmuley

First buck I shot with my son next to me. He was very excited to be a part of the full experience. We stopped here just to gut it, buck was shot on private land. There were 5 bucks on the property that day - Two 4x4s that were big, a big 3x3, a big fork, and this little 4x4 with a decent body. I took the shot on the first buck that gave me the opportunity. Slid it 50 yards downhill into my truck bed for the easiest pack-out of my life.

Whats crazy is that the two bucks with this guy, the big 3x3 and fork, had bedded 10' from where he was DRT. Even after pics, a phone call, and loud talking, they didnt bust out for 45 min until the farmers dog came over with us for the drag out. The two big 4x4s had separated from these three before we shot, and left the property. Next week there were 6 bucks back on the property in the same spot!! They don't get hunted much, it's more of a shoot. But we snuck around and got in close to make it a hunt. Took this guy from around 25' away with a copper slug.
