My last bull Elk

[SHOTGUNSNIPER 47]

I have harvested 2 bull elk with archery equipment, the permits are issued through a lottery system and I got lucky in 2008. I shot this Bull at 35 yards and he went down after a 100 yards. He' was an average size bull.

Mature Bull Elk can weigh 800+ pounds. And yes mate it is a major chore to quarter and pack one out. They are fine eating...

Thanks for the reply SGS

We do call elk in here but this one was shot from a blind/hide near water it was in November and the rut was over. Elk go into rut and breed in mid September during the rut they can be bugled/called in for a close shot. I have called in many elk for other hunters and one for myself. It is quite exiting to experience being in the woods when the monster Bulls are srceaming and bugling. I have had Bulls close enough to wack with a short stick standing in front of me in my ghile screaming and spiting slobber mad.... Hair raising......

I have a fair size freezer it will hold a butchered and wrapped elk. We process most of our own harvests - there is a hunting camp rule - "The tenderloins must be cooked and consumed in camp" Fresh elk tenderloins are one of the delicacies I look forward too. MMMMMM - Good Eatin.!

Thanks SGS
