Elk Hunting

[user 135]

I have been gone for a week or so and have had a hard time getting back up to speed here. I harvested my first bull Elk last week and had a great time with my older brother and step dad. We flew into a ranch in the Frank Church Wilderness(largest in lower 48). We hunted from there by foot and horse.

We saw lots of deer, elk and unfortunately grey wolves(imported from Canada). My brother and I both came home with bull elk and lots of memories.

MMM backstraps(ate the loins right there didn't ya :mrgreen , used to do a bunch of elk bowhunting in AZ, ID, and CO. Drew for cow in AZ this year but circumstances with new job will prevent that from happening. Heard some wolves that gov said weren't there in ID last time. Congrats, that's alot of work once it;s down.

Socal- Yeh they loins didn't make the flight out. I could of taken a cow or browtined elk in this area. Quartering doesn't take too long if you don't gut the animal.

Ricky- you are right. That one word describes the area, hunt and memories.
