Elk or Deer?

Elk for me

Hunting is one thing. Packing out is a whole new ball game.

Both are fun. I prefer high country bucks.

Smaller. More nimble. Generally Harder to find, especially a monster.

Wapiti in September all the way every day!

September is Elk time.
January is for Muleys!

Mule deer. A big mule deer is my white buffalo, I would all but quit hunting anything else if I could figure out big deer. After reading Robby’s book 4 times on my cruise this last week, that’s probably exactly what I’m going to do.

Elk! They are just so majestic and fun to hunt

Elk, since I hunt to fill the freezer.

Mule deer by far. I’ll just go ahead and say it, elk are overrated.

In y’all’s opinion what would you rather hunt, elk in September or high country mule deer what would y’all consider easier. Not just any rag horn elk or mule deer I’m talking about 300”+ bulls and 170”+ deer

In September it's gotta be elk. I've lived in elk country my when life and devoted at least 75% of my fall to them for 26 years. Imo there's nothing that compares to chasing bugling bulls in Sept.

Deer. Confident I can get it packed out without losing any meat.

Elk for me. For someone like me who is from the east coast, hunting elk is like taking the best parts of turkey hunting and the best parts of deer hunting and combining them together. Plus elk eat better than deer IMO. The vocalization makes elk hunting superior.

Elk - deer is a filler hunt

 

[Hondo0925]

I use to be all about elk but anymore I find myself more excited for deer hunts. And any one who says elk taste better hasn’t eaten a September mule deer from the high country.

Definitely elk for me

 

[paguy]

I would hate to have to chose

 

[SwiftShot]

Elk, every day all day. I archery hunt been chasing them for 27 years. It has been amazing.

 

[jdmaxwell]

Elk..

 

[elkguide]

So glad that I don't have to choose.

IF I had to..... I'd go elk.

 

[Irish Miner]

Something I've thought about often.

Elk are better eating, but I'm a mule deer guy at heart. If I had to choose one - deer. Still looking for that wall hanger.
