Hell, I just counted up and in the last 4 years have probably been in and around 92 critters taken (note I did not say that I was the trigger man on all of them). Point being I know that Brad's been in and around a lot of it as well and heck I'm doing good to remember the critters let alone how darn many shots I fired at them... Now what in the heck are we cussing and discussing anyway... And where in the hell is my AARP card? Dober

Heck I couldn't even recall giving you the H4831 let alone how many shots I poured into some critter 48 months ago...

Ain't that the truth... Aside, when it comes to elk in the timber, I'm a pour in the lead til they're totally done sort of guy. First shot was a killer... he just needed reminding. Killing elk out in the open is a LOT simpler than up close and personal... more goes wrong in the timber than out in the open IME.

Might have to take the dog outside for a walk. Can't see much out of our little hobbit hole. Noticed it was a big ol' full moon on the way to the shop this morning.

I need to Brad. Hell, just bought a rifle to pack in the hills so I better.
Just got off the phone with Johnny Loco and said he got into some(at a bit of a distance) today. Got me a little horned up!

Dober, hadn't forgotten... we've got an entire elk in the freezer and I doubt this gang will go through more than one. OK, should rephrase that, have a tough, chewy bull in the freezer and maybe a lil' calf would be a welcome addition

Good for you Sam. You just can't get away from those Sakos! Like me and Kimber MT's. I can remember how many shots in this one (1), as it happened opening day... backpacked in, spotted him in the evening the night before the opener, "put him to bed" (set up my tent, etc) and whacked him with the Kimber the next morning at legal shooting light. He was still feeding 13 hours later within a 150 yards of where I'd seen him the night before:

..just like a big tom turkey..nice job Brad! Dang! This darn thread has given me elk fever--again--with no foreseeable means of treating it soon sitting here in NW Iowa. I like the way you hunt elk Brad.
