The new World Record for # of elk loaded whole in the bed of a pickup in Wyoming without the aid of any other device and all the elk are whole and it is a Ford pickup and it has a flat bed and it is a 4 door and a 6.0 L diesel and the owner has the initials JB. Well you get the picture, we got three whole elk in the back of my truck and I thought it was kind of cool. Frank dropped the first at 520yds and then I got one at 600yds and then Scott played cleanup at 854yds. Fun day. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb428/GreybullPrecision/DSC00279_zps1f1d6838.jpg)

That may be a record for Wyoming, but the world, Hardly. Montana near a reservation can easily get 6 into a Ford Pinto and not a single elk was shot with anything more than a 22 Magnum...

I'm not sure I'm ever going to gut another critter in my life. Or at least elk and moose. Tried the gutless method twice in December on two bull moose.
We had the first moose in the truck in 1.25 hrs (short calf sled ride).
Couple days later, the closest we could get the truck to the bull was about 500yds. Just skin, cut the legs off, trim off the backstraps, tenderloin, brisket, and any rib or neck meat possible. So 4 legs, a bag of meat, and the head in the 2 calf sleds and out in one trip. Sweet! May use on deer shot in coulees too. We'll see.

One needs to put his 4-wheeler in first. That pretty well consumes a short box. Then start stacking the elk.

Lots of good eats there - congrats!! What is funny is those are grain finished elk. Living on malt barley in the field for over a month before they made a big mistake. I have not eaten any yet but I do have high hopes and then some.

I watched my guide skin my elk, quarter it, take out the loins and backstraps all in a matter of 1/2 hour or so. He never touched the innards. When I saw what was left, I decided I would never gut an animal again. Not worth the trouble for a few pieces of rib bone meat.
Better to be over the hill than under it.

John,
We got our cow elk in the high country of Unit 1 in Az. The elk were eating barley and wheat that was seeded after the Wallow fire two years ago. They were packing the most fat I had ever seen and the meat is the best elk I have ever had! You should have some fine table fare with your grain finished elk.

We did that many times with a 4 wheeler or snowmobile... ![[Linked Image]](http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee202/bridgershooters/elkandsnowmobile.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee202/bridgershooters/elkand4wheeler.jpg)

What's the big idea of using the winch? Figgered you fellas could just hoist them in yourselves?

Thx for sharing John, looks like fun was had by all. Well maybe not by the elks...grin
If I can find a pic of my old Toy pickup with my Honda Horse (atv) and two elk in the back I'll scan and put it up. Things were a skosh tight.
Creative elk packing...

Where's that picture of the elk piled in an old Plymouth?
Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a hunting license and that's pretty close.
