RE: Role Call: Elk Hunters
Tally so far,
6 = Went elk hunting --- no opportunities (I think there are WAY more out there, just haven't signed in....)
3 = Went elk hunting, got a shot opportunity, no elk... (Any given year an opportunity is really all one can hope for.)
40 = Got elk (at least one, some with many)
-----
49 = Total
Huntngirl,
This was for "lifetime" not just this year, "skunk years' happen. [:'(] I know you got your bull opening day last year, so you're in the "got elk" category.
BaltActionMan,
Damn, that is one hell of a record from a "camp success" perspective. Sounds like you guys are "dialed in" somewhere or with someone!

EKM,
Every time I go I keep waiting for reality to set in. Truthfully it is a high population area, and those I hunt with take the first legal animal they can. They are all trophies to us and we love to eat 'em.
I like this forum because there are people like that who hang out here. While they all like taking nice racks, they appreciate everything they take.

RE: Role Call: Elk Hunters
WOW Been away for a while...........Somthin' to talk about!!!!!!!!!!
EKM,
This was my 4th year Elk hunting (Is there anything else???) I go twice a year. Once muzzleloader(Backpack!!!) and the other rifle. I have scored once with my ML on a cow this year!!!!!! 3 times with my rifle. 2 cows and this year I finally got a nice Bull!!!!!!
I do agree with you that, Cow or Bull they are both trophies. Ithought that getting a Bull would be the end all......... But except for what everyone else thought, I was as excited on the Bull as I was with the Cows. Although I would really like to take a nice Bull with my trusty side-lock!!! Been very close..But no Elk Enchilada!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So that makes.............4 years........4 Elk!!!!!!!!!! and at least 4 pots of tag stew!!!!
