No luck down here. I had poor weather and did not see much moving around.
That's too bad guys. That makes 3 of us regular producers with no elk this year. Oh well, can't get em every year.
I got a small (I'll call him a fork bull) at above treeline in unit 481 which allows smaller bulls to be taken. I had to hike up nearly 2500 ft to get him and the multiple hikes to get the meat was a BEEATCH. I will not shoot one up that high again and I'm glad he was "small". I'll try to post a pic tonight.
It was my first Elk and I dropped him at a little over 200 yds. Weird shot because he was a couple hundred feet below me in elevation.
I had one hind leg quarter, and both front shoulders (meat only) in my pack. It was heavy! I had to lay the pack on the ground, then lay on the pack and strap it on...then roll over onto my stomach/knees and then wobble to a stand. The terrain was so steep and snowing that I think I slid halfway down on my ars!
Nice work Paul!!
