I'll hunt that place until I can't swing up in a saddle again. One of the good old boys up there is 73 this year. He packs his kid (my age) in for the archery season but he prefers the snow so he comes in for the rifle hunt. He still hunts up high in the deep snow just below the rimrock and he takes big bulls. When I grow up I want to be like him.

Pretty nice antler growth for July 1st huh?

However, northern BC has all that wilderness stuff, like caribou and grizzly--and also has a 6-point rule: bull elk must have at least 6 tines on one antler to be legal. This means that the little raghorns get to grow up to be at least little 6-points, unlike around Kremmling. JB I do call it the old reliable spot for a reason. Our mules always pack elk out. I've seen one lower 300pt. bull taken out of there, a few in the mid to high 200's, but the norm are raghorns. The scenery is nice. Black Cows Matter!
