After many years and several thousands of dollars, I have found the best elk hunting around. After complaining to a buddy of mine about lack of time to go hunting these days and the general expense (I killed a tire and rim on my camper already this year), he offered to take me to his "secret" elk spot. Having been to many "secret" hunting grounds I was skeptical but thought what the heck. Well, picked him up at 6, drove 30 minutes, walked 15 minutes and spotted a herd as soon as it was light. Watched the herd gather up (roughly 100) and start directly towards us, they walked by about 50 yards from us, I shot and missed.

About to shoot myself for screwing up the easiest shot in my life, we find a group of ten that was hiding after I shot. This time I was able to seal the deal from about 50 yards again, a nice young, fat, dry cow. An easy drag down a hill, loaded her in the pickup and had her back to town at the butcher by 10:30 am.

All these years I've been doing it wrong, four wheelers, campers, new guns, electronic gizmos, hiking all day, freezing my butt off.... all not necessary. All that is needed is, a pickup and a good friend. My brother, "The great white hunter" says I'm a baby, that real men hunt off horseback for the big bulls. I say screw that, meat is meat and this trip was easy on me and my wallet!

 

good job stud.............50 yards heheheeee

ya shot once and missed her then shot again and hit the same exact spot heheheheeee

 

I'll bet that elk farmer will be pissed
