Five bulls with a bow
Three bulls with a rifle
One cow with a rifle

How many does it take to reach Slayer status?

I'm pretty sure it takes 11 bulls or cows and 1 spotted calf. That's what I have heard at least for Co. Other states are probably different.

Good question. I would say it's more than one

Ouch!

Here is a simple system I just thought up:

1-4= you just got lucky
5-9=maybe you’re on to something
10-14= you’re still not impressing any chicks with those stats.
15-19=you were dropped on your head as a child
20-24=you might have an IQ less than 80

I'm 3 for 3 with a bow! A 6x6, a 5x6 and a 5x5 in that order. I'm a little worried that they're getting smaller every year. I'll consider myself a slayer until I eat that first tag.

Sr. Dinkerino,

I think you need to master the subtlety of sarcasm that Rokslide demands. We can't have self deprecating humor here because we are EXTREME!! (the second ! is for emPHAsis) Besides I read at a second grade level on my Obamaphone and I don't understand your references...I'm about to get butthurt here in a hurry.

Is that the welcome you are used to? Just trying to make ya comfortable...

I am sitting on unlucky 13. All DIY archery bulls, never been elk hunting with a rifle. Was on a 8 year lucky streak up until 2 years ago. Killed 6 P&Y 6 points in a row and ended up killing my biggest bull to date (#13). Worst thing I ever did killing that bull. Now I can't buy a break in he elk woods, gotten close quite a few times but things just didn't work out. This IS the year that I will turn my bad luck around.

i've killed 3 cows and a bull in 5 years of elk hunting. i like to think of myself as an "up and comer"

 

[Matt Cashell]

This is an interesting thread, and just for fun I am pretty sure. I was thinking about how many elk it takes to become a "slayer." Who knows I guess. I don't consider myself a slayer. I have killed a few bulls (Were we supposed to count cows? Oh well ), but there are some old timers out there that have just stacked them up like cord wood over the years.

My progression as an elk hunter went like many: I started out a teenager that couldn't find my ass with both hands in the elk woods. Then I got lucky and stumbled into a kill following advice of experienced elk hunters like my uncle, then I got to a string of kills every year where I felt like I could kill a bull every season, then I progressed to looking for a bull that met my liking, and I wasn't getting kills every year any more.

I might not be an elk slayer, but I sure like hunting them!

I hope one day to be one of those old timers with a barn full of racks.
