KirkV Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Well guys here is the first elk I have ever shot in my life, There is such a long story to tell with the horible experience we had with our outfitter it does not warrent all of the time and space. She was the only group we saw in the time I was in the Bridger Wildlife Area in Wyoming. I shot her at 150 yards off hand with no rest and hit her behind the shoulder. She stumbled sideways and fell within 10 feet of the initial shot. For my first ever elk I was happy!!!!! I can always go back for antlers!

OJR Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Re: First Elk Congratulations!! There is nothing wrong with taking a cow elk! They eat just great!! Much better than some big, old, tough bull!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_MD_ Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Re: First Elk Congrats on the tastey cow Kirk. Sorry to hear that your outfitter was difficult. If you ever want to talk about doing DIY elk hunts I can point you in the right direction for Montana and Colorado. I also have a very good friend who is an outfitter in Arizona.

Guest Colorado Bob Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Re: First Elk Nothing like a dry cow for some good eatin. To be honest-----that's the way elk hunting is---lots of walking----not seeing anything for a couple days---then there they are. CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
