2023 OFFICIAL ELK MEAT POLE THREAD

Dang thats a lot of blood. Do you like that big stabilizer out front? Is it difficult to get through the timber with it?

Yeah I like my whole setup. I’m shooting better than I ever have. It’s pretty easy getting through the woods, never had a problem getting where I needed to go quietly.

Nice bull, How do you like those Iron Will broadheads? I was going to switch to them next year.

It's the only fixed blade I use for deer and elk since they came out 6-7 years ago. The vented version flies incredibly well. They are sharp as hell and tough as nails. I get passthroughs 100% of the time unless it's a frontal.

Last hunt of my year. It was a low density unit but was able to turn up a couple bulls and after a tricky stalk I found myself at 125 yds from this bull bedded in the cedars. After waiting him out for a couple hours he tried sneaking out the back door and into my shooting lane. One shot and he made it 50 yds. First elk with a muzzle loader and by far my biggest. Congrats to everyone that was able to tag out this year

Here’s my “Stumpy” cow elk

Chased a few different herds in the morning, finally got a shot opportunity and blew it. Worked hard to get another one and it came together.

I ended up shooting a cow out of a herd of 200ish. She dropped, got back up and rejoined the stampede out of the area.

I caught back up to him another 2 miles (closer to the truck!) later and glassed the whole herd for over half an hour and could not make out which cow I had shot. I found one that was limping pretty good and thought that was it, so I took another shot and dropped it. Turns out it was a different cow that was missing the lower 8” of its back leg.

I had 2 tags so I ended my hunt there. This cow isn’t very old, might be 2.5 years old but super thin and emaciated. She wouldn’t have made the winter here.

itty-bitty plains bull this evening. Smallest branch bull I ever killed, and the easiest to get out..... the Deere IS the meatpole.

Always hard to get good pictures on solo elk hunts.

My niece enjoying a coke and sandwich after killing her first elk. She had a pretty rough pack out, carrying my spotting scope and two guns, while her uncles got that cow to the RZR. I would do it all over again to see that smile on her face.

What did this bull measure?

 

[Jbenson]

I'd guess 340ish
