Went Elk Hunting last weekend...
So, I was finally drawn for a special Elk hunt in eastern Wyoming last weekend. Stayed in a great Cabin and had a wonderful time.
The Hunt lasted for two days, (one for spotting and one for hunting) until I finally spotted the one I wanted. Unfortunately, I only had a cow tag (female Elk for you non-hunters) but it was my first Elk and I'm damn proud of it!
She was estimated at 11 years old and weighed in at 780 lbs. Shot her with a Browning, 300 Winchester Magnum from 195 yds.

(FYI: It was on private land and the bulls were kept out so none of the cows were carrying calves).
The landscape was gorgeous, 5,000 acres of rough terrain. Tough walking but was well worth it. We probably walked about 7-8 miles non-stop.

The next morning I went out on the front porch and watched a 17 point Bull watch me drink a cup of coffee at about 120 yds.

Pics to follow:

Nice get, Gonzo.

Let me know how the meat tastes. I've eaten elk once and... well... it was bad. A good friend got one in western Colorado a few years back. He's a seasoned hunter and knows how field dress. Anyway, it was really gamy. The only way I could eat it was in chili and that wasn't quite enough spice.

I have 250lbs of meat in my freezer right now. Plan on eating/sharing it.
Nothing goes to waste on the game I shoot.
The hide is being made into a rug.

I only shoot what I intend on useing, I am definitely the most ethical hunter I know.

The Meat is great. You likely had an Elk that was at least as old as mine and probably ate nothing but sage grass.

That just ruins the meat.

I had Elk tenderloin for dinner last night with roasted Po-ta-toes and Grilled Port. Shrooms.

That's some good stuff.

Thats the way to do it. Unfortunately, a lot of idiots just drive by and shoot elk and deer and leave them to die.

Yeah, I know. It's sad.
These fuggers deserve to be shot and left to die as well.

I used to love to hunt-but have no way to keep the meat. So now I use a camera to shoot.

The deer chasers you put on the front of your car really work. They are small and cheap and will keep them out of your path-they work on elk and moose too.

Sweet Gonzo! Next time try Montana, but hit the tread before you show up because we have some bad ass mountains to climb.

Well done...........

Thanks Bwana!
I looked into a Montana hunt. Non-resident is pretty affordable. I might consider that.
Are you willing to put me up a few nights?

Hell, I might just go with you for a few days and smack one myself.
