RE: Here' s my bull....
Congrats on the bull, When your feet dry out there will be back strap on the fire.
Oops hunting in the cascades your feet never dry out. Anyway great pics.
And yes the elk in the cascades are considered rosevelt elk, there is basically no genitic difference between the sub species but they are a product of their enviroment. The rocky mnt. elk get alot more minerals out of the soil that encourage antler growth, where as the rosevelt forage on alot more lush feed that gives them enormous body size.
Always good to see someone enjoying the rigors of elk hunting.

Alright, good for you. Sounds like your haveing a great year. How far did you have to pack it out? Do you guys cut it up yourself or let a butcher process it? I just did the same thing too down in SW Montana for two weeks, which reminds me, I gotta take some elk burger out,

RE: Here' s my bull....
Luckily, there was a little overgrown road about 250 yards below were it fell. It didn' t take us too long with a machete to clear it good enough to back my truck partway down it. We do all the cutting, grinding, and wrapping ourselves.
I' ve got some elk steaks already laid out for tonight!

I know that the elk in the Cascades were transplanted there from other places years and years ago. I' ve also heard that they are actually a cross between Rocky Mountain and Roosevelt at this point. I really don' t know
Nice job.And nice job on training your Hubby, you think I could get some pointers ontrying to get my Wife to help pack' em out
. Actually that ain' t true, She comes out with me and hold the lantern to field dress and follw blood trails all the time]
