    2023 OFFICIAL ELK MEAT POLE THREAD

    My 14 year old boy’s first ever bull killed on Oct 10th in Utah on a Wasatch LE midseason tag. The hunt was tough with the masses of spike elk hunters out and about. Despite the orange army madness, my son got it done. 220 yard shot

    Have You Ever Notched Your Tag On Opening Day: A poll

    Killed my best bull at first light on opening morning in 2020 on my Utah LE muzzy hunt. I located him on the Saturday and Sunday before the opener and killed him first thing Monday morning as he bugled non stop trying to keep his harem of 30+ cows rounded up

    Which state has the worst fish and game interface?

    AZ site and application process is for sure the worst of all! I don’t love Colorado’s either but it is much better than AZ. UT, NV, and Wyoming are the best.

    Antelope Guide Recommendations

    Not sure how many Wyoming points you have, but if you are looking to kill a trophy buck and want a guide, I would definitely talk to Eli Grimmett with Pronghorn Guide Service. They are as good as it gets for killing huge pronghorn.

    Elk Hunting Reality

    I would agree that somewhere between 2 to 15 miles a day is probably typical for most elk hunts. It seems that some feel you have to cover all kinds of miles when elk hunting as if it is some type of badge of courage, but I would think more about strategy and how you are hunting (glassing...

    Did you miss an animal this year?

    Didn't miss with my bow (one shot, one dead bull elk), but I did miss with my rifle. Rushed a couple shots on a bighorn sheep and missed, but ended up killing my ram the next day, so the pain was short lived :)

    What’s the best wild game meat?

    Elk and antelope are my favorite, but the tenderloin from my first bighorn sheep that I shot a few weeks ago was pretty tasty too.

    Only have one daughter-she is 16 now and loves to hunt. She has killed 2 deer with a muzzleloader. Since starting high school, she has not been able to get out as much with drill team obligations, school activities and of course boys 👎🏻 She still has the fire though and wants to go whenever...

    Your longest pack out by foot?

    My brother killed a nice 6x6 bull elk in Wyoming a few years ago that was 4 miles from the trailhead with just the 2 of us. We both packed it all out in 2 out and back trips, so 16 miles total just on the packing trips. That one was pretty brutal!!!
