Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting My PA elk

To me, it looks like it’s mounted on its side with the crown to the left.

I see lots of backstraps and tenderloins hanging there.

I’m just use to seeing them like this, not on the side.

I had these earrings made for my wife from a bull I shot last season.

Nice elk. Was it taken around bennezzette?

Yes it was, in a turnip field on a game lands, Maybe yoy know the place.

I bet I do. I have hunted and fished in that area quite a few times

Excellent! Congrats on your elk. Looks like some mighty fine eating right there and the elk-ivory ring is cool too.

Classic cartridge in the 30-06 as well.

Which 150 grain bullet did you use.

Remington Coreloct.

Congrats! Hopefully some year I’ll get drawn.

Cool deal. That barrel sled looks pretty slick.

That is excellent! The horse pulling it out in the sled is a cherry on top! Cool ring as well!

I enjoyed this post. I didn’t know y’all had rednecks in PA. I love the use of the old blue drums and horsepower to get the elk out. Sounds like something a good ole boy would come up with. When I worked on the Choctaw Rez as a school principal, they used mules for logging. It did not destroy the land like the big skidders. I also liked the use of the elk ivory and the tanned hide. Nephew recently sent pics of elk in Missouri. Well done! Also a big 30/06 fan. That is a big animal, lots of protein there. I have eaten elk and enjoy original fast food as deer, elk, rabbits, and ducks are.

Agreed! That is very cool. Never seen something quite like it.

Awesome congrats!
Keep hoping I’ll draw a tag one of these years

Congrats. Very nice.

Yep - PA doesn’t allow 4 wheelers on state game lands for animal recovery.

650 lbs might be a stretch.

Doubtful a 650 lb elk would fit in that plastic barrel sled.

Of the 10’s of thousands of cow elk I’ve seen , a few might have been pushing 600 lbs.

Although when critters like elk are in the right habitat, they can get bigger than when living in “normal” habitat.

Congratulations

They seem like a ton when you hauling them out. I will take a nice cow for eating over a bull anytime.
