    The dumbest sh!t hunters say...

    Now that was funny to read and for the most part he was right on. I don't agree with point that hunting is all about the killing. If you are only happy elk hunting if you kill something you are missing out. I enjoy my rifles. I like all of the hunting gear and clothes. The planning of next...

    Euro mount smells

    once you are done with that make sure you power wash the hell out of the nasal cavity way back. I also added some of the Hydrogen pyroxide for bleaching back in there and let it pool and sit for a day. No smell at all after that. Another really cool trick once you are done with that is put...

    You ever seen an 80 "INCH PLUS" Moose Rack......???

    agree with the other poster that it really can depend on the age of the moose and also where they live. I shot a 52 incher in British Columbia that lived in the mountains. Turned out very tough. I think he was older and regressing.

    Euro mount smells

    I agree. Initially I left the Nasal bones in because they do look cool, but I ended up taking it all out due to the amount of tissue in there. I found that leaving the head pointed up with Hydrogen Peroxide in the back of the cavity did a good job of getting rid of the stuff way back.

    Euro mount smells

    I just did a Euro mount myself on an Elk. I found that you need to power wash the hell out of the nasal cavity. There is tissue back there that withstood 8 hrs of simmering in Dawn/Oxyclean bath. I went back in and put the power wash nozzle back in the nasal cavity and got all the residual...

    Elk hunt near Darby, Montana

    I agree there are Elk there but they also seem to know exactly where Craig Barretts private ranch is and another big private ranch that isn't hunted. I saw 1000 head bedded down mid day out in the open on the private.

    Lost an elk

    As long as hunters are taking ethical shots within their ability range I understand. It is where the people have the attitude "if it ain't flyin it ain't dyin" that bothers me. Too many people will take a shot that is too long or at the wrong angle because that is the only shot they will get...

    Elk Cook Book

    I have cooked leg steaks, backstrap, shoulder steaks. I am not an expert but my buddies who have used it for years swear by it and tell me the 130 for 2 hrs represents getting the inside temp to medium rare. It is almost impossible to screw up also as the meat will never get hotter than...

    Elk Cook Book

    I recently got a Sous - vide which is a wand that goes into water to "boil" the meat. It is frequently used in Steak houses to keep the meat moist while cooking and then you sere it. I used it on Elk...phenomenal. You put the elk in zip lock or pressured sealed packet and boil it for 2 hrs...
