Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting This year's elk hunt story

They're relatively soft. I've always used the 348's with 80-90 grains of powder and never had a problem though.

Good job Smoke.

Thanks Brad but I have to give credit to CFVA. He's the one who spotted the elk, made a tough shot, flushed them out to give me an easy shot, and hauled out a monster load that allowed us to snag our camp gear on the last trip. A great hunting pard, even though he has a tendency to stand around with his d*ck in his hand.

HaHa! Got a kick out of that. Congrats!

Maybe a porn mag should be part of your gear when hunting with him. Hand it to him and sit back and wait for the elk to come running! Great story,definitely different

smokepole,

I'm trying to ask a sensitive question in an insensitive way...... but are you missing a leg there hoss?

if so, that makes your mountain-hunting success all the more impressive.

again, not wanting to be mean..... just asking???

Sounds like a great hunt no matter what. To be tagged out before 9a on day 1 would be AWESOME!

shane

he lets cfva hold his protruberance, err, prosthesis sometimes.....

LOL. I had to look at the photo to see what you were talking about. Looks like it, but I'm not missing any limbs.

Although I did once know a gal who asked me why my third leg was a little shorter than the other two....

smoke is just being modest. We would have been completely at a loss without his mad bugling skills.

Right on both counts, especially about me being modest.

I just read this after posting my own thread about a successful elk hunt yesterday . I also paused to leak and shot my bow Unzipped!!!!!!!!
Must be a new trend in early season elk hunting!!!!!!

CFVA says it is----a bugle in one hand and a **** in the other!

Outstanding double!

I need to straighten out my priorities and spend more time hunting...

Thanks Geno. I think we all do.

And we won't even talk about fishing....

Way to go Guys!!! Thanks for sharing your experience, hope 1st rifle does us a good turn.

Nice ones. And maybe not too far up the hill so even better.

Yep, most of the complaints that you hear about PB's coming part is because people try to push them too fast.
I will try to post of photo tommorrow of the 348 gr I killed my elk with using 100gr of BH209.
Found under the hide on the far side .It hit a rib square on going in,but still traversed clear thru,and took the heart out.I might go back t90.but100 shot really well.

Plan to use 295gr PB's on a deerhunt coming up.

Just about as far as I care to haul one out.

Well that is probably about a mile farther than I care to. Got reinforcements coming this October for my elk hunt so hoping to have your luck.

Well, that was a rather productive morning.
