First Elk
First Elk
Boyd and I were invited to stay in an elk camp over the weekend. There is,nothing quite like hanging out in a wall tent with a nice stove going, nice bunks for sleeping, great food, and great company.
Boyd was the only one in camp that was young enough for a cow to be legal on his general tag. The rest of us were limited to spikes. Boyd made a great 100 yard shot on this cow 20 minutes after season opened.
We slid her by hand down the steep park and just tried to stay out of the way. We then hiked back to camp, ate breakfast, then used a sled to drag her out to camp. It definitely didnt all look like the sled dragging photo.
Boyd also killed a whitetail doe at 150 yards on Thursday evening before the elk hunt in the youth deer season.

I dont typically get to bring out a whole elk. I just finished reducing the whole elk to bones in my garage.

May I assume you're not here to inquire about the alcohol or the tobacco?
