Nevada elk updates 2024

[Ridgehunter]

Folks that finished their elk hunts in Nevada this year. How did it go? Let’s see those bulls and cows. My hunt starts in a week and I’d love to see some photos and read about success and/or lessons learned.

Killed on Friday. Tougher hunt than anticipated due to hard rut (timing for recovery), HUGE pine nut year, and heat. Only saw one other dead elk at the gas station, and spoke to some guides who also said the same thing. Stoked on my bull though…..had to climb 2k vertical and 1.8 miles to get to his hole. Got it done w/ my muzzleloader at 242 yrds. Be in great shape and shoot straight.

Now that’s an awesome looking bull! I’m pumped. Congratulations on your hunt sounds like you earned it. Now I have one week to get in shape haha only kidding.

I'm no expert, but to me that is some serious mass. WOW.

My exact thoughts. Would love to see the mass measurements on that guy.
