First Elk!

Recommended Posts

The boys got their elk on that youth hunt, But this is my first elk. 7E was a hard hunt for me. I found some water that both cows and bulls were hitting at various times of the day. Total bonus, considering most of these elk are nocturnal right now. So I decided to take a walk and find the best path from the waterhole and do some still hunting. Turns out the Lord guided me to a cow about a mile out And I took her down. Day 4 ends the hunt. Took her back to camp and got her deboned.

Tomorrow is elk burgers. The family is really looking forward to it. This was a solo hunt for me,And I forgot how everything freezes when you leave camp. That was a pain in the butt. Looking forward to going home tomorrow.

Tough hunt over there. I heard the bull hunt started out pretty good but fizzled out with the pressure.  7E is usually a difficult riddle to crack, Congrats on getting it done.

Congrats man, 7E can be tough for sure.  A buddy of mine just got there hoping to tag out by Thursday.

If he needs a push in the right direction shoot me a message.

Wow,  as stated tough unit.  Any solo elk hunt is not for the faint of heart (especially once you kill!) even on a cow hunt, so congrats on that as well.  And another congrats on your first elk.  That hind quarter does good justice to her size, no easy task by yourself.
