![[Linked Image]](http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p287/longwalker_photos/IMGP0035_zpsjoz8ge5e.jpg) Opening day of Saskatchewan regular elk season was good for our group. We took 4 elk for 5 hunters, a pretty awesome day. Saskatchewan elk don't get much exposure in the USA, I suppose mainly because we aren't allowed to share, the hunt is for residents only. So I thought you might enjoy seeing how we did. We had at least 4 bulls bugling at first light, and two groups of wolves howling as well. This was all within a 2 mile area. It was a short but exciting hunt. We can hunt either sex with over the counter tags, unlike most of the other elk ranges that I have read about. I passed up a cow in the morning and took an orphan calf in the evening. not as much meat as those bulls, but delicious and I don't need any more bone on my walls. My old Brno 22f 7x57 is still doing its job well at 67 years of age. ![[Linked Image]](http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p287/longwalker_photos/IMG_5038_zpsm0n97zrl.jpg)

Nice! A very civilized looking elk hunt!
Brno 22F's have long been among my favorite rifles, yours is a beauty.

Nice! A very civilized looking elk hunt! The meat hauling part looks much more appealing than with a backpack and pair of boots.....

I like your style...looks like "loads" of fun to me. Congrats!
Wish you freaking Sask guys would share some of those bigassed muleys with us.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Actually #5 was content to see a few and not pull the trigger. He was a professional butcher and helped us process a couple right in camp. Nice guy.
