Elk day #9 The team is worn out after the bull packout but everyone beats back the zipper once again and heads down the trail. Quiet day in the woods from start to finish. To be expected though i think with the increased amount of human stink in the woods post muzzle loader. The muzzle loader...

Elk day #8. Opener of muzzleloader. Down the trail we go. Little earlier than normal as there is 8-12 more people at the trailhead. Our main focus was to get my friend and son a cow as they both had muzzle tags. I took my bow in case we ran into a wound up bull. We got to our normal 1st...

Elk day and bull down. More pics and story to follow. Hes on a 50 degree slope so we need to tie off each quarter at a time.

Im kinda like you gotta be kidding me. All that blood and you still can get up a tree. I circle him with binos for 15 minutes. I didnt want him to suffer and more as he was clealry a fighter. After finding a good angle i sent another and he came down with a thud and last breath. I knelt and...

1.5 hours takes forever to pass. I gather up my stuff and start down the blood trail. Seems light, then heavy, then dry, then light. So so to follow at first then further in easier and easier. He seems to be moving 100 or so yards then resting. After 700 yards the blood trail starts to zig...

More soon. Gotta get this guy into town.

I take it all in for a minute then walk down to the impact site. Arrow has good dark blood up to the FMJ label and i have initial blood. I mark the first blood with some tape. I look around and take it all in and put the arrow in my quiver. Upon examination it looks like one 100 gr slick...

First i notice the big round wobbling rear quarters, then the small ears, then the brown snout. This is a big boar and he is close. 25 yards in front of me, nose on the ground and has no idea im there. I begin to pull an arrow out, dial in 20 yards, back up and slide up hill and out of the way...

Elk day #7. Well as my previous post said " when left alone at camp, it usually results in a logistical packout problem" Normal morning routine of up at 0430, coffee big hot breakfast and down the trail. It rained a few times since last week and the ground now was soft. Quiet sneeking...

Got him all back to camp today. Had to take an old school photo on the hood. Story tomorrow after I get him to town.

I think I put the stick in the wrong way?

0500 here and up for breakfast. Elk woods was quiet yesterday so I went ahead and created a logistical problem with this guy. The good kind of problem. Gotta get him into town and checked. Quite the story to go with it that ill have to post a little later. I got a buddy in camp with me last...

Teaser.

Thanks Mike!!! Appreciate the kind words.

Put away the tshirts. Dont need to have them out to hunt in anymore this year. Headed in and since im by myself......that usually equates to me creating a logistical packout problem😀

Big change of weather from last week. Good rain. 46 degrees here now. Did a little deer glassing tonight but the wind was just swirling like crazy. Will head down the trail in the am and chase some elk.

Thanks. Good luck!
