Any tips for elk hunting??

[Angus Cattle Shower]

We leave tomorrow evening, or at 3 in the AM. Any tips are greatly appreciated, cause I want dad to get his first elk.... we can moose hunt at the same time, and its in a CWD area so we can hunt whitetails and mule deer. It is on the forest firnge.

Have a good one

Our neighbor got a 400 plus bull down there this fall. I'm ready to hang some moose hunters up here road hunting hayfields looking for whities just because they're packing a moose tag. A truck full of them messed up Ty rattling in a buck tonight-not a good scene.

Speaking of elk, there were 4 bulls out in the close hay pasture this morning when I was helping feed the cows, and I don't have a bull tag...but I think I am going to finally go hunting this afternoon and maybe get a cow or at least an antelope. NR don't give me crap about this one...I will get an elk (even tho its antlerless lol)!!

A nice barbequed elk steak if I ever show up will garantee my silence-you go girl lol. What did you get for a bow?

Cow elk are far better eating anyway. Look for a nice big fat one, cause their most likely the dry cows. Horns might look nice on the wall, but cow elk taste better on the plate!

NR, I bought a Golden Eagle Sparrowhawk, pretty nice looking, haven't gotten to use it yet, won't actually hunt with it till next year tho. I also bought sw a Matthews for his birthday

NR, were heading to your country tomorrow AM, I have a moose tag, and I need to use the second whitey tag here, cause I cant at home. Check your PM's.

We diddnt get anything besides a coyote (me) and a grouse (me).

Hope we can shoot something tomorrow, I get to fill my antlerless tag too.

sw is going to like that-get some judo points and go shoot gophers with your bow it's lots of fun and good practice.

 

[montana cowgurl]

not too many gophers out at the moment lol.

not too many gophers out at the moment lol.

That even makes it more of an adventure. :wink:

I was thinking perhaps next spring young lady-right now hanfg some balloons off a bale and step back a bit and try and pop them.

Im back and we diddnt get anything, besides a quad thru the back window of the truck as we drove into *spit* Meadow lake. lol.

 

[Northern Rancher]

I wouldn't blame the area sunshine-it's called hunting not drive out and shoot something lol.

 

[Angus Cattle Shower]

I dont care if I shoot anything, its a bonus, but if you go out to kll something, youre a murderer, but if you go out to have fun, enjoy the outdoors and make memories youre a hunter.

I'll remember that when I get hired for my next professional hit
