    Elk Down, and Fill the Freezer

    Wow! Such a great video and great time! So glad you reposted this. I’m sure Kenzi‘s sold on elk hunting now. Great video footage too especially through the scope.

    First timer elk hunt

    I’m a life long westerner, lived in Montana for a chunk of adult life, now Nevada (elk hunting is good here but for out of staters hard to get tags) I’d go for Wyoming if I were you. Lots of elk and higher success rates. But check success rates for any area/state you are looking at.

    Quartering to Shot With 7 Mag

    I took a quartering shot on a cow elk with my Ruger #1 7mm rem mag @ aprox 220 yds., while elk was beginning to run with rest of herd. Rested gun on boulder to take the shot. Act of G.d, will never happen again, but hit right through heart and dropped it immediately. Go with your 7mm - solid...

    How long did you hunt before you went for an elk?

    I was poor, putting myself as a single mom through grad school in Montana. Dad said, “We’re not giving you $, but I’ll give you a rifle. If you want to hunt great, if not, you have a rifle.” So I bought an otc deer tag, went out mid-day solo, and brought back a small doe. One shot, and meat...

    A story and a request built out of struggle, tragedy, overcoming, and ultimately good news. Could use some advice.

    Elk is the best meat you can eat, not just taste, but by the stats on nutrition. Don’t rule out deer and Pronghorn either - they help round out the years when we don’t get elk. Will your wife hunt too to make sure that freezer stays full?! Glad your little guys is well now. Quite an ordeal...

    Emergency vehicle.

    Adrenaline from tagging an elk blocks pain, but to go with the hypothetical…Call game warden or game biologist for the area and ask for help packing out and offer up some steaks to them. A mile is nothing. That said, I hunt/hike up to 5 miles in on a gimpy ankle that I broke years ago. It...

    Any chance for this elk?

    Aw geez so sorry. First, and I’m serious, switch to rifle hunting from now on. Time and time and time again bow hunters spend more time tracking wounded animals than instant one shot, down, pack out, in freezer. Track the animal more and ask for some help. Find him.

    Mule Deer Patterns and Behavior

    I picked up some Miley hunting dvds from thrift store. Eastman’s are good with great tips on open country vs forested, snow/rain behavior, early and rut. I definitely leaned a few tips.

    Which Rifle?

    I’ve never tagged a Miley buck and am hoping this is the year. We’ll be in steep and deep territory so trying to decide which rifle to bring: Kimber 8400 7mm REM mag with Zeus’s V4 Conquest scope - super light, synthetic stock accurate; or Ruger 1 .257 Wthby mag Leup. Scope - weighs a lot more...

    Nevada success

    Wow! That’s great! And quite a hefty pack out too. See meat is exposed - might grab some game bags on your next hoof in.

    Once you tag that elk, none of this will matter… well at least not so much.

    Meat processing- salt lake city and surrounding area

    Have you tried cutting it up yourself and buying a grinder for burger? We STRONGLY recommend this for a few reasons: 1) Greater overall satisfaction from the hunt; 2) You know everywhere the meat has been, and how it’s been handled, how long with/without refrigeration, and what has/hasn’t been...
